He Owes a Good Deal to the Past
He owes a good deal to the past - well, yes,
As do we all: DNA, the printing press
Words, books, art, music, ice cream, apple trees
Sunday suits, John Ford movies, honeybees
Food, flowers, clothing, the first day of school
Summer lawns, autumn leaves, the neighbor’s pool
Fishing, wishing, stargazing, that first crush
(The memory of which makes you almost blush)
We owe a good deal to the past - and so
The past is a blessing, wherever we go
