A Long Time Ago

A long time ago,
When innocence was part of life;
Where love resided in many hearts,
And happiness was rife.

A long time ago,
When sixteen he was and slim,
Handsome and polite,
The virgin girl cried for him.

A long time ago
When lovemaking was in circumstance,
Babies born out of wedlock were few
And kissing was the main part of romance.

A long time ago,
That was many many years ago,
Life was simple and sacred,
And many hearts love did bestow.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
