Rhyme Time: That time!

It was a time when people asked about your happiness, not the sorrows,

And when people used to ask about your well-being, not your borrows

It was a time of kindness,

But now it is a time of cruel ways,

All cared about everyone,

In many back days.

All remembered you,

And noticed your presence,

Now no one minds or notices,

Your presence or absence.

You love every one,

No one loves you,

Is that your thinking,

Or is that true?

Everyone was your friend,

They were worried about the end,

Now no one sees,

They just buzz like bees.

It was a time many years ago,

When they saw your heart,

Not your shows.

It was a lovely time,

Without any physical or mental crime.

All lived with love and their love was very true,

No one gave the other any pain,

And it was the love gain.

All praised the other without any harsh,

And they were loving you,

There was a time many years ago,

All loved you without any show.

Will that time be back,

Without any lack?

Will you be free,

With all your worries?

I think that time will be never back

And I am sure,

I just want to die without any lie,

In my dreams,I will live that kind of life,

When the time was loving and full of loving life.
