Old Time

Published on 30 May 2025 at 08:33

 

In old times,

The night lasted longer,

We gathered, feasted, and chatted,

As dusk fell,

We strolled through the village,

Sharing the laughs and tears.

Then, we headed home,

Beneath the twinkling heavens,

Frogs croaking in chorus.

 

In old times,

We die

At where we were born.

 

In old times,

Hello wasn’t always followed by

Goodbye.

To know you,

were to know you lifelong.

I'd spot you

at the fairground,

at the weekend markets,

Walking with your family.

Our children, companions in play,

Would learn side by side.

 

In old times,

People say I love you,

Then, they

Will only love you.
