Those Were the Days

with muse in hand I'll take you on a walk to remember do you remember when you used to be able to keep your windows and doors unlocked and got to enjoy the night breeze's while you slept do you remember when you were able to walk to your local corner store and not get jacked do you remember when soda and cigarettes were 50 cents a pack and 25 cents a can and suddenly you had friends you've never knew you had before do you remember when you could ride a city bus for a dime and go downtown and look at christmas displays without getting knocked off feet do you remember when gas was only a nickle a gallon so family's could take a nice summer vaction without noise and traffic do you remember when kids walked to school safely and never had to worry who was lurking behind them do you remember sitting at the soda shopp just dancing and twisting the night away without having rumbles do you remember when boys were boys and girls were girls well on this walk to remember I'm sure there still out there but got lost along the way Tribute To Youth And The Oldies Also Entry For Constance La France's A Walk To Remember Contest

I do remember all those things.....how fondly I remember, and how sad to think those days are gone, and kids today will never know the freedom, and peace of mind we had then. Good luck in the contest!! ~ Carrie
