Yesterday's Life Was All Roses and Sun

If sorrow and grief were replaced by glitz and gladness would invite us to a waltz, there would be lasting joy; nobody will think of tears, of fear, of pain only of thrill; honor peace and there won't be any blitz! Such harmony was present in a garden when our ancestors were without sin, they never feared the lion and the tiger: yesterday's life was all roses and sun! The final threat is death, the plague that kills; it comes at any age, at unexpected moments, many try to defy it, but can they really trick it? Its longevity depends mainly on self-taught wisdom learned by living untroubled days: yesterday's life was all roses and sun! Written on 7/13/2016
