A Message To My Forebearers

by Joan Moos
I often sit and think about
how you would feel today,
If you could see how man has risen,
and the earth has slipped away.
 
Now we fly across the seas.
Man has flown to the moon and back.
The speed of sound has been broken
with a loud and thunderous “crack”!
 
Life as you knew it has passed.
I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.
In many ways life is easier
from what you might have had.
 
But sometimes ‘simple’ is better
than the gadgets now at hand.
It’s always a loving family
that really makes life grand.
