i Remember when

I remember when
my life was happy,
when things were normal,
when i would play away the days,
and sleep away the nights.

I remember when
all you would see is laughing and smiling,
when everyone was friendly,
and violince wasnt so much.

I remember when
familys were together,
there wasnt many kids living
on the street,
when everyone cared
and everyone shared.

I remember when
things all changed for
eveyone and me.
my life was a mess
as many others around.
no hope for the future,
not hope for tomorrow,
only sorrow..

if only we could all go back
but life just doesnt work that way,
so today i sit here reflecting on my life,
on the lives of my friends
and i relize we can all make it though.

because i remember when things were differant then today and i hold on to that hope.

    Your words are so true in this poem. I relate to those wonderful memories of my childhood, and gosh........if only we could go back again.

    We do have to hold onto hope.

    Great write my friend.
