It’s Likely You Have Wondered Why

It’s likely you have wondered why

When you are riding in your car

Things close to you go swiftly by

While others which are off so far

Ride alongside of where you are.

The farther from you they may stay

The more they seem to be at rest.

They go along with you your way

As though they also were in quest

Of what you want to keep abreast.

For holding them in constant view

The places they take seem to last,

As long as you are passing through

They simply will not be bypassed,

But stand by you to stay steadfast.

Whilst by those stars men navigate

And children notice how the moon

Should travel at that selfsame rate

When it has reached benighted noon

As they are bound to come to soon.
