When I was five life seemed pretty rough. Yet, as I look back, I can see that it was truly a kinder and gentler life. We used our imagination and neighbors to entertain ourselves, our Moms didn't work outside the home, life was less hectic - absolutely wonderfully terrific!
As Bob Hope said "Thanks for the memories.

You bring my own memories floating back from a time when things were so simple and life was easy for us. Our parents may have had it rough, but they seemed to keep that to themselves and we were totally oblivious to everything outside our small world. Great write!

Times were much simpler then, or was it because we were children that life was so carefree? Anyway, this nostalgic write reminded me of the new song from Bucky Covington "It was a different world."
Enjoy 55, it might be as good as 5 (hey, ya never know)lol.

Yes, life was simpler then, children had a wooden piece formed like guns and you could hear only bang-bang-bang-...you dead!
Today the children's guns are real and when you hear a bang someone is really dead.
When somebody says about the good old days always will be there a wet blanket to remember the depression.
But yes, oh those days!
Thanks.

When you were five, you've got the whole world to explore. It was nice, and the time was serene. There were no violence like they have in school nowadays. The kids are going to school in constant fear of being attacked.

When you were five, everything was nice and dandy.

Great treasurable photo. and poem!
