There was.. There will!

There was a time
When all was gold
And value was dime
Now there are only stories told

For gone are the days
And a price that everyone pays

There was a time
When streets were nice
And there weren't any crime
Now before leaving we think thrice

For gone are the days
And a price that everyone pays

There was a time
When love was all we need
And there wasn't a place for only 'mine'
Now most are selfish deeds

For gone are the days
And a price that everyone pays

There will be a time
When we shall look back

And miss these old times
And wish we could for once go back 
                                and not forward...

  5. I do think we cannot dwell too long on the days that are gone. They are gone forever. We can miss them on occasion, but I think we have to be prepared to move on.

  9. Sadly that feeling will get more intense as the years pass by. We lose so much by every advancement we make which eventually makes us strangers in our own land. Luckily we poets see it!
