Simpler Times

Remember when snowflakes were scented with baby's breath
street lights were dinner bells
riding bikes was a day's restitution of fresh air
there were no amber alerts or at least we were not aware
God was still politically correct at the start of a school day
Wonder bread was no wonder, but what did we care?
...Simpler places of the mind

This reminds me of a conversation that I had with a friend not too long ago...how life used to seem so big when we were small, and now it seems so much smaller now that we are big. Great imagery in this one, it really took me back to those special moments that I cherish in my mind.

So kind of you to say, thank you so much Sarah.

A wonderful piece of writing. I'll admit that it isn't over-the-top profound, but it is something I feel most humans think about—which makes is real.

Thank you for the post!
