The first sparkle...

Just got in...made my first post a while back. Making my first bid for fame now amongst ye merry ol' sweethearts...

Some memories, a little bit of wishful thinking, some nostalgia, and lots of desperate clawing to get back to my seemingly happy past...

Where did the birds go?
Freedom, peace, love and cheer?
Do you remember how to laugh still?
Or do you only shed a tear?
