Once upon a time…

Posted on 04/18/2020 | 16 Comments

those were the days

things done our way

decisions were ours

happiness hours

where’s it all gone

the sine qua nons

my friends,

those were the days

live as we choose

nothing to lose

and so it goes…

    Very nice post, Eugenia and I totally love the song, “Those were the days”. Got me singing! hahaha Have a nice weekend. Stay healthy. Stay safe, and STAY HOME! hugs That song will be in my head now a very long time, but I love it. Such a cool song!

    One day we’ll refer to this pandemic time in terms like “back in those days”, etc. Great poem!
