I Remember

I remember days of old when people used to care.

I remember hopes and dreams were things one used to share.

Friends were always true to you, they always

understood,

and I remember saying things not bad, but always good.

Things today are different and people sure have

changed;

You don’t know who your friends are or who might be

deranged!

You can’t go out alone at night for fear you might be mugged.

I remember people always wanting to be hugged.

It’s really sad to think about how nice it used to be,

because you know you still must face today’s morality.

I remember days of old, I said that once before;

Oh, how I wish those happy days would come to us

once more!
