Time is a Falling Leaf (Battery not Included)

By Lawrence “Mack in Texas” Hall

A child and a puppy playing on the lawn
Tumbling through soft grass in the bliss of June
We joy in their celebration of life
Everything is new
Except that it isn’t

An old man and a dog dozing in a chair
Dreaming of their youth in the bliss of June
We joy in their celebration of life
Everything is old
Except that it isn’t

Time is a falling leaf
Except that it isn’t
