Remembering When

I remember when...
We were young and play naked in the rain
And we were so happy with the cold
But now soaked with the rain ,
I shiver as the tea cup is hard to hold.

I remember when...
You can open your windows at night for fresh air;
And there`s no fear of molestation or danger,
But now I stay awake caged with Iron bars;
And I`m still afraid of a dagger or gun from night stranger.
