Dreaming of Yesteryear
To bring back the years gone by
those years of my early childhood
growing up in the early sixties
wishing that time had still stood
everything then seemed so cool
living in time free of present pace
none of the fastness of today
just a stillness that filled your space
There was contentment and real peace
with friendship and unity did abound
you knew those you could trust
real friends were to be found
Your house could be left unlocked
make up your time easy to do
oh to have these days again
that would be a dream to come true
(I have written this poem to recollect my favourite days of growing up in my pre school days when life seemed so contented and peaceful then, living in the countryside having real freedom before lifes trials came upon us.)
