Old people-Old times

Handmade wind chimes

Kids in the street, spinning wheels

Sharing four candies bought with a dime

-

-

Old people - Pure delight

Carved paintings, peace and quiet

Nanny, Kingdom tales all night

Aunts gossips on neighbour's fight

-

Old people - warm beat

Sitting together near one heat

Receiving guests seemed a treat

Cottage looked wealthier than a suite

Author's note;

Old times were golden when people relied on each other and less on the materialistic world. I still wish to time-travel and go back to old times when I could enjoy the real essence of life.
