Distance

“DISTANCE”

From there to here can be short or long
It’s a measurement , you see
For some people it must be exact
But it’s all the same to me

Distance is measured in many ways
And done in different styles
In America, it’s the time it takes
In Europe, it’s the miles

But no matter how we travel
By Land, or Sea or Air
The distance is the same, you see
From here to over there

So now consider the weather conditions
The wind, the rain and snow
And time becomes a problem
Depending which way you go

If the wind is blowing from here to there
And you’re coming from there to here
You know that you would be better off
If the wind was at your rear

But, if the wind is with you
And you’re going from here to there
You will travel the same amount of miles
But you will have some time to spare
