Behind the times is not so bad.
It's more important to stay informed
to what's relevant during the current times.
Sure, I am older and from behind the times.
However with my friends of the behind the times
days and my friends of the present times days
I feel it's all going to be just fine. I have
been discouraged on some days to find
out a old friend I went to middle school(Junior High
school for those baby boomers,you know who you
are) that old friend way back in the good old times some fifty
years ago has died. I simply say my
prayers that I'm grateful to be alive and go
off to myself to quietly remember the
good old times that me and my deceased
friend had. There are going to be good times
and yes there are going to be just as many
bad times. Having the Treasures of fond
memories while breathing another day
can never erase how much fortune
we have to be alive another Day. Enjoy
this day. Behind the times is no
different then these times. We living
beings exist in the Times yesterday,
today and tomorrow.
