The Good Ole Days Poem by Richard Wlodarski

The Good Ole Days

Bring me back
To time when
Life's simple
Doors open
To neighbours
Love's open
To strangers

Bring me back
To time when
We all talked
Family
Not just friends
But strangers
Off the streets

Bring me back
To time when
Love's real
We did care
We still care
And God's there
For the share

Bring me back
To a time when
Fear wasn't
Today's normal
When "to serve and protect"
Instilled such bravery
And dreams were not nightmares
