Blossoms and Bubbles In the Haight Ashbury

It was good to be young and free Those years passed in a golden haze It was the time of free love and life Oh, the Haight Ashbury in those days.. They had blossoms in their flowing hair And wore clothing weird and wild Sitting on the street corner blowing bubbles So proud to be know as "A Flower Child" Affectionately we called them Hippies Often wishing we could give it a try And join them in their carefree days Living in San Francisco and getting high The Beat Generation had its day in the sun Bubbles and blossoms just part of the fun… For those who do not know, the Hippie movement was in the 1960's, mainly in San Francisco..the hippies were really embracing a counter culture life style...

Those were the days, Barbara! People my age remember those years with mixed feelings. I retained my happy memories. #7 // paul
