What, Where

what happened to the days of old Where life was more presious than gold What happened to playing in the streets Where the kids from the neighbour hood would meet what happened to the long bike hikes where picking berries for our nanna that she so likes What happened to the hottie's she put in our beds where she kept them hot every hour till we rested our heads What happened to the days of unlocked doors Where fear didn't seep into your pause what happened to the days of babies being born where laughter and love and family are not torn what happened to the positive life where once apon a time things were nice

Very well written Gail. Sometimes nostalgia can be sad, but maybe a poem like this can bring us back for just a moment :)
