Toys broke then, Hearts break now
It was a sweet melody when we were young and naïve,
Our old toys broke and instantly replaced with new toys.
The older we grew the harder the game became,
There was no replacement there was no exchange.
When young we heartlessly broke our dolls and toys,
As we grow older we callously break hearts of girls and boys.
Once upon a time there was no guilt but a lot of gain
Now when it breaks there is instant hurt and a lot of pain.
It was a sweet melody when we were young and naïve,
Our toys broke then, our hearts break now
It did not bleed then, now it does how?

ooooh great one!!! very deep.
Hm, kinda says it for our society doesnt it. Perhaps if we help children treasure toys we will have adults that treasure hearts...
These were powerful, soul-searching words. Excellent.
I think it is so true, but wouldn't it be nice if we were more like children and loving every moment.
i miss my childhood days!!
yes, you are right, and this is on so many levels.
sad but true.
Yea, toys didn't have heart but we do have. But those were the sweet days when we could do anything are were given instant forgiveness saying, He is just a child. :)
It does hurt now!

love the lines.

It is so amazing that as kids, our level of appreciation doesn't exist, but as we go older, it gets even stronger.
None of our experiences can be overwritten, it is always a new chapter, start, era - call it what you may - nothing erases the memories.
This is very nice! :)
Beautiful AD! and true;)

Toys broke then, hearts break now... So true!
