There was that then <br />There is this now; <br />Then, the sun-heated tiles <br />And now, now the snow. <br /> <br />There were fat shady trees then <br />But that was then <br />And now the years have slipped away <br />The trees are now tall and thin. <br /> <br />Now I see the seasons pass <br />Spring, summer, winter and fall <br />But long long ago <br />All that didn't matter at all. <br /> <br />The world turns slowly for some <br />And not fast enough for others <br />The stars, the sun, the moon <br />Are now my sisters and brothers.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-was-that-then/
