Do you remember the days gone by#THE #GOOD #OLD #DAYS Click To Tweet
When they were long and time wouldn’t fly
Carefree times with no pretence
Feeling young with confidence.
The sun blinding your very soul
Lit fires, tents and blackened coal.
Never having a horrid day
Loving life and the will to stay
Focused on your early life
Before the turmoil, pressure and strife.
Friends come and always stay
Making your remember-able day.
Laughing at the innocent things
Where bees are buzzing and bird sings
Summer days full of fun
Playing football in the sun
No enemy to make you scared
Cakes and scones carefully prepared
Food a plenty and stomachs full
Enjoying the times you have at school.
The best friend you have has four legs
Follows you everywhere , sits and begs
Those were the days I will never forget
When times were happy and no one frets.

Indeed friend, I cannot imagine a young person leaving their phone behind and enjoying life on the outside. Thank you for your comment..
All true. Those were also the days when we didn’t read the paper or listen to the news, so we didn’t think that the good days were ending and we’d soon be wadding in boiling water. Many things were more important, and I suspect, could be again.
I really enjoyed your poem, Billy. It set off memories!

Hi Billy, Yes I do, plus my daughter took pictures
