The Wonder Years
I have very few gripes to tell you about
But one major one is people who concentrate
On what's wrong with the world
Instead of concentrating on all the good things
That have come our way in the past decades
We tend to take things for granted after a short while
And forget what it was like before
Where is it all heading?
When we were back in the middle of the 20th century
We could only guess at what was ahead for us
Not an inkling as to the progress
The many many gadgets that make life so much easier
More connected like never before
And yet this is only a period in time
With more unimaginable gadgets that will be available to us
Our minds boggle at human ingenuity
The last century was an explosion of new ideas, new horizons
Never imagined possible before
These are the wonder years
We can only imagine and wonder what lies just ahead
