Premium MemberSimple Life Simpler

Life of country boys
Rocks amd branch for toys
A car comes this way
Boy no longer play
Dirt road boy clears way
Car stops white man says
Passion fruits that is
My tutu, tutu
Car ...  man say, do you ... (breathless run)
Man say, passion fruit
Maybe, ... parachute
Out there! Li-Li-Koi?
Yes you silly boy.
Go and pick for them
They gave bubble gum.
Smiles car

Simpler Times

I remember the simpler days
when worries would just up and walk away
like the moon as she's crossing the sky
my eyes were so open wide

oh how I wish we could all just go there
where life was all about peace and good cheer
a coming together from one heart to another
we were all sisters, we were all brothers

I

Premium MemberSimpler Wedding

Two friends that life separated for a Time
Who's reunitation can only be described as Sublime
On this day we are all fortunate to share in their bliss
From when they both say I do to their first married kiss
I was there at the start when their second chance begins
I am blessed in this life to call you

To you, my friend, who enjoys things unique and strange,
Take this token as a reminder of simpler times.
Though before you were born, it was a world amidst change,
A world between wars, longing to be in its prime.

Premium MemberSimpler Things of Life

Find pleasure in the simpler things of life
Enjoyment should be in your vocabulary
Take up crocheting or playing the fife!
Find pleasure in the simpler things of life
A walk in the woods can dissipate strife
Eschew arguing and merely being contrary
Find pleasure in the simpler things of life
Enjoyment should be in your vocabulary.

Premium MemberSimpler Times Through Photography

Remembering simpler times through photography
When most entertainment was unelectrified,
Before the golden age of complex technology
Little was known of intricate human psychology.

When most entertainment was unelectrified,
Families quickly congregated when someone died
Little was known of intricate human psychology,
Behaving ourselves was considered dignified.

Families quickly congregated when someone died
Much time was spent exploring family genealogy,
Behaving ourselves was considered dignified
Afront

Premium MemberWhen Everything Was Simpler

“Peace on earth, goodwill to [wo]men,”
When I was a child unburdened by worry
Takes me a long way back to a time when,
With not a care in the world, why hurry?
Everything was simpler, less chaotic then.

Premium MemberA Simpler Time

Christmas was always magical;
and still brings out the child in me.
Yet, I yearn for a simpler time
when innocence was still in bloom.

Although holidays come and go,
Christmas was always magical.
It's the season carolers' sing;
and friendly neighbors wave and smile.

Reindeer once adorned our rooftops,
and townsfolk strung up colored lights.
Christmas was always magical,
and I yearn for that time

Simpler Times

Horse driven carriages and umbrellas in the snow
Grey pavement, oh so dark
Gloomy every morning when the men are on the go
So happy when we used to have dinner as a whole

Oh my! Did you see that Mary has a telephone
Fascinating is not, let's go have a look
Maybe the girls and I will stop by for

Oh for the good old days, life was simpler then
Up with the birdies, then to the office we went
Traffic was a breeze
No, you first please!
Now it's amazing, to survive without dents

Premium MemberA Simpler Life

In days of old
When Knights were bold
And wonder filled the sky;
A world more simple, 
Eyes that would twinkle
As life passed slowly by and by.

Food that was real,
Few that would steal,
Neighbors knew each other’s name;
Faith that was strong,
Wrong was just wrong,
A worthy life the common aim.

Now we all run
In darkness and sun,
No time to ponder and

A Simpler Time

I miss the old days
 my sixties, seventies and eighties
when I was young and unafraid,
 but now it seems
those years have caught up with me
 and I find my old grams words in my head
that I've seen better days;
 but in my heart
things always turn around
 and though the past cannot be undone
tomorrow's future remains
