From The Past
Have you ever stop to wonder
Just how things use to be
Making crowns from wild daisies
Climbing grandma's big Oak tree.
Mow the grass with a push mower
Never locked a door
Mom cooked three meals a day
Who could ask for more.
Air Conditioning was a luxury
One we never had
TV was plain old black and white
Three stations wasn't bad.
Indoor plumbing there for some
Some of us just lucked out
Always had time for family
Respect was never a doubt.
Didn't have lots of money
Stock Market never read
We were happy with plenty of food
And a roof over our head.
We went to church three times a week
God lived with us each day
We said our blessings and our
prayers
That was just our way.
Today most children will never know
The best things in life are free
Like having close family
relationships
It sure did work for me.
Oh there are times when loved ones
leave
And families grow apart
But these are wonderful memories
That stay within our heart.
