The Sixties
So many things were going on.
In that decade of the new dawn.
Where peace and love fell short of war.
And no one can recall before.
Our innocence took a back seat.
When mind altering kept the beat.
It was before I had a mind.
And my own way was yet to find.
That's what I liked the most I guess.
I had no need to try impress.
A childhood years all open eyed.
But still didn't see when Grandpa died.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention.
The Beatles and all their attention.
For me they made the sun come out.
For me that's what the sixties were about.
