Hands of Time

 

 

If the years regressed were fifty,
Would people be the same?
Would they still be in a hurry,
Would the hectic life remain?

If I stood this spot a century ago
Would I even know the place?
Would I see horse and buggy below,
And life a slower pace?

If two hundred years I went back
Would I be in forest green?
Would I see a Native American relaxed
And fishing by a stream?

If a thousand years in time I went,
Would my life have worry or concern?
Is this where I'd choose my time to be spent?
And to a busy street would I ever return?
