I Reminisce, I Miss

I reminisce, I miss....                                                                            The smell of fresh home baked cookies,                                                           today they come from a box of stale goodies.                                            Please and thank you,                                                                                 now very seldom heard.                                                                           When kids were kids just having fun,                                                              not tied to a computer so they cannot run.                                                    Life was work hard with simple things,                                                           like flowers you would bring.                                                                     The days of old are long gone,                                                                  never to return.                                                                                               The ones I loved,                                                                                        the ones that loved me are all gone.                                                                 I reminisce, I miss....
