What happened to the good old days?
Back when my life was full of joy and happiness?
Back when my world was a beautiful place to live?
Back when people loved one another and everyone smiled?

What happened to the good old days?
Back when my life was worth living?
Back when I enjoyed school?
Back when I loved coming home to my family?

What happened to the good old days?
Back when I actually felt loved?
Back when my eyes were tear free?
Back when I had worry free days?

What happened to the good old days?
Back when I would thank God every night for my wonderful life?
Back when I believed in everyone and everything?
Back when there was no screaming?

What happened to the good old days?
Back when I loved people?
Back when I trusted those I loved?
Back when I had faith in people?

What happened to the good old days?
Back when my life was amazing?
Back when life was worth living?
Back when life was good?

What happened to the good old days?
Back when love overpowered hate?
Back when good overpowered bad?
Back when everything was better than today?

What happened to the great world God made?

Wow that is the very best poem. It can make me feel better at times. Life is not simple, sometimes it's not easy at.
