Happy Days

When I think of the years gone by
I hang my head and almost cry.
But do not think that I am sad
don’t jump to conclusions and say I’m mad
I’m simply reminiscing on the happy days we had.

My friends were many, enemies were few
when I was with them, I was never blue!
It never really worried me when a problem came about
because I knew someone would be there to help
me work it out.

Those happy days are gone for sure, the cynics often say,
but those days are wholesome, still fresh in my mind,
and they will never fade away!
It’s true I had my ups and downs, this I will admit
but there were always friends around to cheer me on
and encourage me not to quit!

Now, life has parted me from my friends
and we have all gone our separate ways
but, I won’t allow time to cause me to forget
those truly Happy Days!
