There Was A Time

There was a time
when young men eager
in their youthful boast

dreamed the visions
their fathers dreamed
and spoke of how

change would come
and then wondered why
it had not.

There was a time
when the young men grew old
and the visions they dreamed

with their fathers had died
and the time for change
gave way to age.

My dear Old FInn

A wonderful poem that expresses what happens to old revolutionaries and their ideals, they fade and time erases all. Very well done.

 

I DO love your poetry … and you, my BBH (beloved bearded husband)
