THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Those were the Days
Those were the days children
Never will you ever imagine
Well used to comforts of today
Days our your parents bygone days.

Mothers day begins with no gas to cook
Blowing the fire on logs of wood
Smoke more than fire,until it catches fire
Tears rolling down the eyes of hers.

No washing machine of these days
With drying feature in built to suit your ways
No emergency lamps to light up the house
Only candle power to cook or hand fans for air release.

No phones to talk to friends or relatives
No TV to watch and relax too
No cars of present days to travel
Tongas or bullock carts means to avail.

Call from neighboring city from relatives
Walk miles to receive to post offices
With wild thoughts hovering in mind
Until you resolve after talking relieved you find.

If abroad, Your brothers or sisters
You need weeks to exchange letters
No vonage or magic jack of today
To talk to them anytime rightaway.

Blessed are you children of today
Technology making life easy in many ways
Day a child is born, starts communicating
With cello phones ,gran first cry of baby
