Days of No-Bother

Those were the days of laughter and fun
When life was just play with nary a care,
Days of no-bother as we basked in the sun.

The mind was a stallion, or unbridled mare,
Our friends were our kin, our own family,
When life was just play with nary a care.

We knew of no difference ‘tween anyone, you see,
Color, creed or religion was of no concern,
Our friends were our kin, our own family.

We knew not of hate, only  love did we learn,
Of joy and of friendship our bond was cemented,
Color, creed or religion was of no concern.

We knew not of a world with its mind demented,
Ensconced  in our bubble of innocence  we were,
Of joy and of friendship our bond was cemented.

Those days just flew in a flash and a blur,
Those were the days of laughter and fun,
Ensconced  in our bubble of innocence  we were,
Days of no-bother as we basked in the sun.
