Those Were the Days

Life was filled with wonderful things, and trusting others came easily. There was time to love and care and enough time to stand and stare, There was no past to reminisce about and no future to fret about, We lived then in the present and lived by the day. There were no promises to keep no goals to reach And no dreams to dream; Life then was easy to live. There was no need to fear and no need to hate, There was no room for tears and we had faith in our fate. There was no need to worry and no need to hurry, No turmoil big enough to frustrate life and there was more fun than strife And it felt good just to be alive! ~Contest: Then and Now ~Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker
