ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE

   
  I write to you from yesterday, a very long time 
  Ago for you,

  Long before you were born in a town of people 
  and family.

  My family and I were up before the break of dawn, 
  Working,

  Children of  a simple time but at times not so simple 
  You see.

  Horses were a common thing just as your car is in 
  your time,

  Things of your day not dreamed up as of yet, life was 
   hard, also fun.

   Here in yesterday there is sickness that kills many as 
  There is no medicine,

  As I sit here on my farm watcing my wife and kids play, 
  I write this to you.

  When you receive my letter it will be that I and those I 
  Love will be gone now,

  You will have all the things that we here have never seen, 
  Good and bad.

  There are beautiful things and land that will disappear with 
  Time, I can see them,

  I live here in another time and place just as you do, I hope 
   this letter gets to you.
                                         Keith Garrett
