Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Times Are Changing

 
"Our times and life will always be changing, but 
the strength that dwells within us never changes."

                                  Quote by _Constance

Time is changing how we live life,
because danger is a cruel knife;
not sure that my country is safe,
I read news with anger and chafe.
With family- cannot share throes,
for too many of them repose;
My life friends are dwindling away,
for only the true will not stray.
My building neighbors come and go,
there are none to share my sad woe;
though a few are friendly and nice,
at church- so hard to break the ice.
I do like social internet,
oh, hundreds with the same mindset;
sharing thoughts and feelings on Soup,
and also with my Facebook group.

Fin Chuuk February 7, 2023 at 5:04 PM My neighbor moved in next door two year now and is such rude person. I tried so many times to be nice to him, but he’s just miserably rude. I enjoyed your poem, Constance, and sending you P.S hugs :) Constance La France February 8, 2023 at 8:32 AM Fin, thank you so much for the visit. I had a neighbor like that too, she had a face like stone, never smiled. And like you, I tried to be pleasant saying good morning and nothing. That face never cracked, she finally moved away, hurray! Thanks for the compliment, hugs back, Constance
