Yesterday
*
Good news more often across the air waves,
Men and women were honest, strong and brave.
Happy children with grubby little faces,
Family grocery shops in so many places.
*
Pickles and relishes in the pantry canned
Life at that time seemed ever so grand.
Pies and breads on the windows to cool,
love and kindness was the golden rule.
*
Aprons on dresses to keep them clean,
Every back door open with a wooden screen.
Young folks today will never experience,
That life’s pureness, calmness, and innocents.
*
Some of the older know just what I mean,
Not again will we live in this quaint little world,
Only by walking along in our memories dream.
Then back to reality we are quickly hurled.
But wait just a minute, please open your eyes,
You will see this wonderful life again in Paradise!
