Back Then

Back then things were so simple.
A smile held no guise, a hug was just that.
A kiss held no promise of more to come,
Hopefulness was still in tact.

Back then things were so simple.
I believed everything you said unquestioningly.
I had the faith of a child,
Everyday was an adventure waiting to be stumbled upon.

Back then things were so simple.
Homework that could be completed in 15 minutes,
No life-changing decisions to make,
No need to think further than today.
The hardest task to complete was obedience.
All my chores were done for me
LG!!

Back then things were so simple.
I saw everything through your eyes,
Loved like you loved,
Obeyed like my life depended on it,
Had unwavering faith.

Take be back then to when things were so simple,
Take me back to when I had faith like a child.
