THOSE DAYS

If only, we were young again

For those days, will ever remain

In our thoughts, and memory

 

We were young and fair

Most things we would dare

And not, have much of a worry

 

Friends were easily made

Differences, didn’t make us afraid

Always eager, to strangers query

 

The problems seemed lighter

The nights were much brighter

While we, basked in our glory

 

We could run and sing

Do almost anything

Were more carefree and merry

 

Oh the things that we dared

And never got scared

We were naive, but never wary

 

We were taught not to tease

Always say please

And to work, never tarry

 

Our friends were more fun

We got much more done

But not, in such a big hurry

 

Disappointments were rare

Life seemed more fair

Everything was, just hunky dory

 

The grass was greener

The air so much cleaner

We were neither, liberal nor tory

 

The jokes were funnier

The days far sunnier

And the movies, not as gory

 

The air was fresher then

Can you remember when

We played, and were never sorry

 

For the things that we did

Or the goodbyes we bid

Only now, we tell the story

 

We saw all the beauty

Fulfilled our duty

But now, life’s become blurry

                                                                                               

How did we all miss

It would turn out like this

Father time, make us feel his fury
