\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Better Time & Place<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of a world with no TV.<\/p>\n

Would you then be closer to me?<\/p>\n

Think of a world with no internet.<\/p>\n

Would that bring you closer yet?<\/p>\n

Think of a world without any phones.<\/p>\n

Could we then spend time alone?<\/p>\n

Think how wonderful it would be.<\/p>\n

It would be great for you and me.<\/p>\n

We would find lots of things to do.<\/p>\n

All of them bringing me closer to you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only a dream that won\u2019t come true.<\/p>\n

Some say such talk is real cruel.<\/p>\n

But, I remember a time when it was like that.<\/p>\n

I may be old but, it is a fact.<\/p>\n

In those days most married for life.<\/p>\n

You loved no one more than your wife.<\/p>\n

This modern world has it\u2019s pros & cons.<\/p>\n

But, if I had a magic wand.<\/p>\n

I would wave it & go back in time.<\/p>\n

Back when I would be yours & you would be mine.<\/p>\n
