A Simple Place In Time
There was a time ~ Not long ago
Life was simple ~ Pace was slow.
Working father's ~ In their place
Mothers' home ~ Was full of grace.
She was there ~ To fill their cup
Teach them manners ~ Bring them up.
Kids were spanked ~ When they did wrong
Families sang ~ A different song.
Youth were taught ~ the golden rule
In the church ~ And in the school.
A time we knew ~ Our neighbors' name
Country folk ~ Down wooded lane.
There was a wrong ~ There was a right
Honest people ~ Didn't fight.
T.V. stations ~ Off a ten
Local news ~ Came on back then.
No C.D.s ~ And no Ipods
Just radios ~ And fishin rods.
No laptops ~ And no cell phones
Just happy families ~ Time alone.
The days of old ~ Have gone away
And men don't take ~ The time to pray.
War is raging ~ Hear the cries
Overseas ~ A young man dies.
Lots of crime ~ Out in the street
Trust is gone ~ In those we meet.
World is angry ~ People swear
Sin is found ~ Most everywhere.
There was a day ~ We knew no woe
But now our prisons ~ Overflow.
Life goes on ~ The pace is fast
The days of old ~ Will never last.
Unborn children ~ Silent cry
Laws are made ~ Why must they die.
Times are changing ~ Vows are too
Jack and John ~ Now say, "I do."
Bible sits ~ Upon the shelf
Every man ~ Is for himself.
Dust has gathered ~ On the Word
Book of God ~ Has gone unheard.
How I miss ~ So long ago
Life was simple ~ Pace was slow.
