A Better Time & Place
Think of a world with no TV.
Would you then be closer to me?
Think of a world with no internet.
Would that bring you closer yet?
Think of a world without any phones.
Could we then spend time alone?
Think how wonderful it would be.
It would be great for you and me.
We would find lots of things to do.
All of them bringing me closer to you.
It’s only a dream that won’t come true.
Some say such talk is real cruel.
But, I remember a time when it was like that.
I may be old but, it is a fact.
In those days most married for life.
You loved no one more than your wife.
This modern world has it’s pros & cons.
But, if I had a magic wand.
I would wave it & go back in time.
Back when I would be yours & you would be mine.
