Once Upon a Time
When humanity knew harmony
When people smiled and said ‘good morning’
When looks held love
When husbands respected their wives
When wives revered their husbands
When children obeyed their parents
When learning was a passion
When knowledge was pride
When books were treasures
When music was therapy
When words were lyrical
When movies were messages
When men were gentle
When women were classy
When children were innocent
When the forests were greener
When the seas were cleaner
When the air was purer
Once upon a time
When Paradise was Earth.

Earth still is paradise, only if we change the way we see? Don’t you think so? Sorry, I stumbled out of the theme. But honestly, you did full justice to those words. ❤ Thank you for such a beautiful read.

Thanks a lot @thesentimentalguy. 🙂 I’m glad it spoke to you. And you are right, the world still is paradise, we just need to find it. It’s just that most days that paradise is lost, especially considering today’s society with all the terrorists and killings across the globe. It’s sad.
