 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

The Old And The New


In my travels around this beautiful England
Ive seen places that froze me in time~
Tranquil spots that have always been
Remained as was and ever fine~
Palest almost white skies
Very old green and sloping hills~
Tallest leafless age old trees
Spasmodic and ever beautiful clumps of daffodil~
Oldest stone fences from so long ago
That lined the roads that used to be~
And often turning around right where I stood
The most sublime view of the sea~
Old and sleepy yet cold and chilly scenes
That have simply been the same for years~
Hasn't changed since men ran around
In uniforms of the day with swords and spears~
Some things have changed completely upon this earth
So may others just seem to silently stand still~
So much has been adopted by the modern world
Other thing they simply never will~
But original beauty is still about to view
Waiting there to be appreciated even more~
Modern days can't compete with age old things
Not as majestically as so much was before~
Thank God some things will always remain the same
Taking us back in view to a time so old~
When life was hard but hearts were true
And knights fought for rights so bold~
I stand and look as if I can remember
My soul it speaks of memories~
And I wonder long ago was I under this same sky
Looking at these same tallest oldest leafless trees~
The old and the new so different it's true
I pray that some things will always be~
I treasure it all so , wish back I could go
So far back into my souls history#
