J.P.G. Poems

Times a Changin ©

By Joseph P. Gimenez

 2010 for the Red Hook Series

Times a Changin yes, it is so

It changes each day like the drifting snow

We wait for it to vanish but it just won’t go

Times a Changin my friend, say it ain’t so

 

Times a Changin my friend don’t you stand still

The world will blow by as if on a windy hill

People will leave you, and you know they will

Times a Changin my friend don’t you stand still

 

There was a Time when you knew who you were

Now time goes by so swiftly as if a blur

No matter how we try we can’t stop the events

For time is a changing and you can’t stay on the fence.

 

People are changing with every day I see

Times is a changin to this you will agree

Look back in your past if you care to clearly see

That times indeed a changing just like leaves on the tree.

 

Time is a changing my friend yes it is so

You see it in the news or wherever you go

You can’t escape the clock or the ticking or chime

For time is non -stopping till the en d of the time.
