A Different Time

I wish I lived

In a different time

When things were gentler

And the weather fine

Where money didn’t

Rule the day

And I had to barter

To make my way

When friends were there

Always on hand

Where houses were homes

And not so grand

When I could dress

In old but smart

And people spoke

Right from their heart

Oh was it really yesterday

Or just a thought of mine 

I was counting my blessings

But I can’t count that high

For each single moment

A million pass by

They don’t wear any labels

So sometimes I don’t see

The value of things that life brings unto me

Now lets just take friendships, current and past

A union of thoughts that go on and stand fast

Or the nectar of nature that’s seen all around

With her beautiful colours and lyrical sounds

And what of you my Angel who is ever so near

The blessing of which I’ll make totally clear

The greatest blessing of all

Thought to Ponder – When life seems difficult and the road ahead is steep, remember God didn’t make the earth flat and it is more interesting and beautiful because of that.-  Peg Huxtable
