I think about life, love, and everything involved that I can think of. All I know, all I do, and where I’d go if I wanted to. The world is flying by at such a fast pace, almost as if we’re in some sort of race. I see, or I should say I watch people do as they do, go to work, to the bank, store, and home. People like me, and probably like you too.

We work to gain, but at what cost ? When in reality it’s the moments money can’t buy which are all too often lost. I sit, sometimes for an hour at a time, nothing on my mind, not even a rhyme. As I do sit, I think to myself about what I see, be it a squirrel, a butterfly, or a bird in a tree.
What have we become, when they’ve stayed the same ? Pushing out nature, and wildlife, as if what we’ve been given is some kind of game.

I find peace in a rabbits run, rain falling gently, or sitting in the shadow away from the sun. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy music, laughter, and fun, but my mind is at home when there’s nothing to be done. From a thin blade of grass, a grain of sand, maybe a child’s first step, or a welcome held hand, to a cloud passing over, stars in the sky, where do we go from here, and when we’re gone - can we fly ? In my life, my mind always races in thought as my heart and soul soak it all in. Where were we just fifty years ago ? Where will we be another fifty years from now ?

To me it sadly seems that technology is replacing emotions and dreams. What do we have to work for when everything we want, or feel we need is right at our fingertips ? Are we destined for a future where we forget the simplest things, such as love felt between two sets of touching lips. A simple kiss, just this, and or to understand the touch of a loving hand, rather than what is best, or who has it better, it’s becoming more than I can stand.

Values, seem to have no value anymore, just as appreciation has depreciated, what values do our children hold ? Now for those who understand exactly what I’m saying, it’s a safe bet that to our children, you (like me) are considered old. I can vent, I can write, and I can do all sorts of things, but never out of spite.

If I had a wish, one that would actually come true, it would be a wish that the world would start a new. I fear very little, but I do fear this - the future for generations to come, they will be contending with what we have done. We can apologize all we want, but they will never have what we had. Sadly, we let go of it for what we felt was better.

Better in this circumstance is just a word at best. What has become of us, when I was their age, I never would have guessed. Teach them to love, to feel, to play, and to pray, because - sad to say, eventually it will never be that way.!
