Was there a time
When life saw love
When people shared energy
When all was love
Was there a time when we held
Life’s charms within our arms
When we fed on laughter and saw the sky
So full of hope so open to all
Was there a time when we still thought yes
A time when we were immune to redress
I think that time has been and gone
I think we stand apart open protective and hurt
A time we aren’t sure of
Tentative and careful
Not wanting to open
Wounds and hurts
Of those other times when life saw love

Goodknight, sir, I enjoyed the poem.  Hope it is not true!  Hope we remember all we once knew!

Paul...there is so much that is wonderful about life...I try to focus on that...small things even that go unnoticed, can bring joy.  And without love there would be little meaning to anything...so yes, there is love.  A thought-filled poem, my friend.  Hugs!

Hello Paul

Your words spoke so many truths and made the reader really think.  I wish for you much love and happiness in the New Year.

Take care......Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Hey, Paul -- good to see you!

And isn't it good to feel things all the way, even the bad things? Wouldn't trade it for fillintheblank!
