Remember When

Do you remember When we were just kids Running and playing That first stolen kiss Summer time romances Starting to bloom Sneaking out windows To dance under the moon Innocence protected Something cherished To be saved The world at our fingers If we only dared dream Sleep overs and camp fires The forth of July A time of relaxation Away from the strife These were the good days Cherished time lost Children of today They really are robbed In such a busy day Where there's no time to pray Now it's computers and cell phones So much technology No personal visits From people we love We all just facetime From our bedrooms or cars A really sad story To pass down the line No hugging or kissing Just emojis and such We've forgotten the basics Of how to show love By dropping by houses Just to say hello When it comes to emotions We have all just pushed mute When it comes to compassion We are illterate and numb
