Times are changing
If at last
Mirror in time
Reflects the past
One more hero
Diving down
Final Zero
Wears a crown
Death and sorrow
Leaving naught
Experience
Can’t be taught
But one more day
One Spirit sings
One more way
To test your wings
One more song
By voice will cry
Hovering fate
Never to die
Times were changing
Final glance
Regretfully
Just one more chance
Hold on tight
To eagles’ wings
Until at last
Your spirit sings!
— Fran Bachman (Lafferty), 1991
