The Graceful Place

i used to live in a place
serene and peaceful in its grace
i loved the place with all my heart
until progress tore it apart

this place was once peaceful
now it's just disgraceful
i miss the way it used to be
when i was just a little me

but now this place is bustling
but there is really nothing
and all good things must come to an end
it just isn't what i had planned

I Really Like

This poem. It says so much of how the world changes around us, and our own memories of how things used to be. One of my treasured memories when i was a child, was of a beautiful blossom tree in our front garden. We moved from the area, and years later i returned, to see it had been chopped down. You captured the whole thing beautifully with the words 'It just isn't what i had planned'
