My front window faces a country lane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I often study this lane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I am told that life has changed greatly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this lane has not changed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there anything more beautiful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Than this peaceful country lane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The word decline is often used <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But do things actually decline <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farms are a good example <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Updated methods of farming <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have actually enhanced the industry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the seed drill and beyond <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet many of these farms are now redundant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of the economic betrayals <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But have these farms actually declined <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer is no as they now satisfy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other uses whether residential or recreational <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or they just return to the fields of their birth <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My country lane now is now used by motorised vehicles <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas in the past it was used by horse and carts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this a decline or a change of use I ask <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us be clear about this when noting change and decline <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are totally different words and should not be confused <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My lane does change four times a year <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is constantly moving <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lane declines and then it is reborn <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything if you think clearly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travels in circles without interruption<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So do choose your words carefully <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before sharing them with others <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are my final thoughts <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
