Simpler Times

We were ordinary ones
With no thought but fun
The days were simpler 
And you weren’t on the meter

You could smile because you wanted a laugh
And life for us was easy to grasp 
At the end of the day 
You were tucked into bed to slumber away

Do I wish for the simpler times
When the game was just fine
And I remember them all
Each day was mine in my call.
