Whatever happened to the good old days, 
when your phone would ring 
and people called, just to say hello.
When the days seemed longer
and the work hours shorter ,  
when laughter was heard from your neighbors 
porch and there was always coffee on; 
Whatever happened to the good old days, 
when children would play outdoors 
and we always made time for each other.

Hi Rose, I've been away for a while and glad to be back visiting yourself and others. I love this reminiscing piece of poetry, that stirs many a pleasant memory in my soul. Bravo & Blessings, Terrell

They dissipated in the gloom of egoism. you reminded me of Avon calling. At least they talked and laughed and had coffee even if no business took place. Hugs.
