Few Things Stay The Same

Change for the better as some like to say But others they do not see it in this way Since for change to occur old ways have to die And that change is only a disappointment to some is not a lie Of the praises of change those who love change do sing But cultural and social change to many can be a disappointing thing I too am conservative in my own way Since i yearn for the what was of the bygone day Like the ways of the Irish Travelers when i was a boy Seeing them in their horse drawn vans was a source of joy At the cross roads at night they drank, sung and danced and music played And now even the memories of what was beginning to fade The increase in motorized vehicles forced them off of the roads which seemed quite a shame They became victims of change but then few things stay the same
