december time is from before slow

Once upon a time

Bicycles were slow

On the back seat of Dad's bike

There was always a secure seat

That was your exclusive spot

Once upon a time

Ships were slow

In the small river bend where Grandma lived

There were green water plants

And rippling green waves

Once upon a time

Green trains were slow

They pierced through the curling smoke

Rushing thousands of miles

Carrying the homesickness of those away from home back to their hometowns

Once upon a time

Time was slow

The winter snow of January and February

The spring blossoms of March and April

The summer nights of June and July

The autumn harvest of August and September

The small reunions in the winter months

Unknowingly, another year has passed

If you ask me where the time has gone

I think it’s in the way you’ve grown up
