What Once Was

Sun’s rays are bright breaking through the trees

Where could I hide, I am down on my knees

The lights from the house are all going dark

The beauty that once was now just stark

Memories of a life that was once filled with joy

Now filled with meanness for that is the new toy

Will it ever return to what once was

Only if we forget the mindset of because

Sometimes we forget how hard life can be for others and instead of judging, we should be listening with a careful ear of kindness. For even if the story is too far fetched to believe, there is still a shred of truth in there somewhere.
