every time there is a chance to talk
every time the opportunity arises
all I do is show no interest
but calmly listen
when the topic is of importance
though it still ends with
"I was once there."
mother speaks of the old days
father speaks of the future
all we have to do is to watch and pray
for then only is the future sure
and it all boils down to
"We were once there."
Had I listened to Mothers' tales of old
I would have learned a lot for the present
Had I listened to Fathers' talk
It would have been so translucent
Would my children listen closely?
Will history not repeat itself?
I now speak the same words I disliked hearing
'I was once there.'
