Posterity

POSTERITY© Long ago and far away We never thought we’d reach today Living long we never dreamed Could ever be as we had deemed But here we stand hand-in-hand It’s nothing like we might have planned Back then we’d not conceived Things of today could be believed. Tomorrow brings more wonderment Things of which we have no hint Sadly we won’t be allowed To have our minds become endowed With things we’ll never live to see They are for posterity. That’s one regret we can’t recall But posterity will see them all When their age increases to The ages of both me and you.
