Not a care in the world

There was a time in life that I believed everything was alright.
Being a child running to & fro without a care in the world.
Days went by and nights were just a time when crystals glistened in the sky.
Not a care in the world just me, myself, & I.
Things like coloring books, & lollipops put a smile on my face.
A wondrous world with me, & my barrettes in my happy place.
Where the only thing that made me cry was if I got a booboo or got something caught in my eye.
When I was constantly told that everything is gonna be alright. But those were old times & now life is but a new.
We sometimes wish for those days instead of those that turn blue.
Responsibilities and bills take the place of balloons & cartoons.
Love gained, and loved lost is what we all go through.
Some of us still have it easy at times, not many just a few don't have to work for a dime.
Looking back on my childhood wishing I could go back would sure be fine.
Not a care in the world, just a carefree little girl.
Now we have worries, anger, rage, and regret.
A few of life's melodies playing on a record we can't forget.
So what do we do to fill in those places that make us smile?
We let life take it course, love without any remorse, and pray that happiness is at the next mile...
