Do you ever just drive around <br />To see the country sights? <br />Old homesteads crumbling with time <br />It never seems quite right <br /> <br />Sometimes the cows gather ‘round <br />With old buildings in their midst <br />Yes, they have their own kind of charm <br />At one time they were quite a hit <br /> <br />It’s sad but yet has beauty <br />A mixture or then and now <br />But it’s part of the rural landscape <br />For the horses and herds of cows <br /> <br />Oh if only we were able <br />To peek right into the past <br />Those homes had so many memories <br />If only they could last <br /> <br />But nothing lasts forever <br />A house or a stately barn <br />They have a lifetime of memories <br />But time keeps trudging on!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-lasts-forever-6/
