That was then, this is now
“That was then, this is now” is right
as today’s generation shows
gap distinctions so clearly bright
about how technology glows.
I said before to my dear Dad
“That was then, this is now” is right
And he believed such, was not mad
In adjusting to language blight.
Understanding with all my might
Fashion styles of varied design
“That was then, this is now” is right
Along perspective I call mine.
Enjoying changes midst truth’s worth
My heart abides in divine light*
Steadfast, respecting fads with mirth
“That was then, this is now” is right.
*John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
