Sometimes I laugh
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I dream
Of days gone by
Life was hard, each day we learned
We never wanted what we hadn’t earned
A handshake at the bank was the only must
Lives were built on faith and trust
Friday night dances at the school’s old gym
Pledge of Allegiance and a morning hymn
In the Spring, caterpillars all over the trees
Stop at the candy store for jujubes
Pinball machines and wiffle balls
Growing to serve, duty calls
Decorating the car for the football game
Jumping in leaves when Autumn came
Watch a parade on Decoration Day
Visit the grave, a prayer we’d say
Meet at the diner after class
On Christmas Eve, go to Midnight Mass
Play in the street until well after dark
Climbing trees at the local park
Baking potatoes on an open fire
Riding a bike after patching a tire
Delivering newspapers in all kinds of weather
Put a nail in a bat to hold it together
Counting stars while lying in the grass
Standing under a pavilion until the rain would pass
Sometimes I laugh
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I dream
Of days gone by.
@brrr saidWe always think back to the old days. I liked what you had to say by the way.

The world has changed so much since I was a teenager. I don't know that things will ever be the same again.
Nothing we can do so just sit back relax and drink what ever beverage you have. Try and enjoy your golden years as best you can.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThanks, I knew the author's name. I was chiding the OP, who "borrowed" the poem without credit.

@handyandy saidI didn't think for a second he was making it his own.

I liked what it said, don't care who the author was, doesn't matter it was excellent.

@handyandy saidAndy what anyone thinks doesn't really matter if you want to go there.
What you think doesn't really matter.
Keep in mind everyone is allowed to have a different opinion. Rather people agree or don't agree.
