What Happened?

Time flows along, and sometimes the way gets confusing. I know I've often asked this question of myself. . .

Sun-warmed hay and picture clouds,
Bumblebees and rain;
What happened to those lazy days,
Those whistles of a train?

Children squealed in pink-delight
While carousels spun ‘round;
What happened to those carefree days,
Those picnics on the ground?

Fireworks on velvet skies,
Firefly-filled jars;
What happened to those brilliant days,
Those flashing shooting stars?

Twinkling trees and sparkling clothes,
Turkey legs and spice;
What happened to those holidays,
Those people who were nice?

Orange-blossomed wedding vows,
Tear-streaked, dull decree;
What happened to those happy days,
Those days of you and me?

**Yesterday been reading my diary, emails... recalling what has been. Today it has ended. Oh the happy days are gone...**
