Those Simple Days

by C.F. Leach

Ran into the Keeper of Memories the other day

Who had the most amazing things to say

He reminded me of a time when life was a simple thing

When we just had fun not worrying about the gain

The gain of fame, success, that promotion and money

Simplicity now gone—nothing of life seems funny

About those dreary work days and cold sleepless nights

Relationships gone sour with all the constant fights

From which I’m seeking peace wherever it can be found

No longer with my head up, but always looking down

Thinking what happened—why am I here?

In the same place year after year

Missing the heart who loved the Lord so much

That constantly prayed for the warmth of His touch

Wonder what happened to those simple days

Perhaps it’s now time for me to change my ways.
