Looking Back

If we should all look back to times when we were in our teens, when we believed 
some things would never alter
We were convinced that truth and time and love were not just dreams, but the 
steadfast rules of life that never falter 
With our adolescent confidence then certain that we knew the truth would always 
trick us if we lied
Yet time and life’s experience has given us a view of truth when economically applied

And what of time, this mystery we know not how to tame, yet try to save with ever 
faster speed
Invariably when in a rush it’s time that gets the blame, we never seem to have 
quite what we need
There are times when the hours drag on and seem to last for years, or perhaps 
your time you have to bide
One day you’ll no doubt contemplate where all your time has gone and realise that 
time’s not on your side.

The thing that really counts in life is love and that’s the one that starts a fearful 
aching in your heart
But falsehoods and bad timing will often lead to spats and the misery of being torn 
apart
Truth and time are part of love that cannot be denied as we roam along this 
complex path of strife 
With honesty and timing you will find that love can’t hide, and you will then bring 
love into your life .
