Leaf leaf falling from a tree, from the ground it calls to me. It screams my name it shouts and raves, it tells me about the yesterdays. When life was like a fairy tale, when no one hurt and nothing failed. When children laughed and played and sang, and never hurt and never felt shamed. When parents never fought and hate was never taught. When love could last forever, and a family always ate together. When the tears that rolled down a cheek were not for saddness and no one was weak. When a friendly smile was an everyday thing, and people really cared what others would think. Feelings were shared and nobody cared if someone was different from them. The yesterdays are now long gone, but to the memories we still hold on. Like the leaf that feel from the tree we've fallen from reality. To this day we still can't grasp, the things we lived by in the past.

I just sometimes wonder what it was like...
