GLIMPSE OF OLD THINGS

 

Think of old things, of people at ease,

lovers relaxing and life being lived.

If you could go back where would you go?

Would you go to an old Roman bath

and listen to idle talk?

Me, I’d go to the dawn of time

to see what was before.

I’d like to work in an old library

and read new manuscripts.

This is a journey back in time,

yours and mine to wherever you want.

History is life and life is history

of which we are all a part.

Fully agree with the idea "life is history"... Outstanding or dramatic, spectacular or unworthy.. It's you who decide to write a new history with events that nobody has never seen before.. Your life is your history.. Write a history of your own life! Thanks for a poem! P.S. I would also go to work in a library or ..school.
