Remembering When - Contest

I remember when:
Manners were important
Simple things like please and thank you
Giving up your seat for someone elderly
As a lady doors were held open too.

I remember when:
Common courtesy was a norm
Never too busy to pass on by
You didn’t take things for granted
Your home was a haven from hurt and lies

I remember when:
Taxi drivers opened their doors for you
not stay sitting by the wheel
Streets were clear of litter,
Life was for living, not surreal.

I remember when:
Mobile phones weren’t in existence
People went out of their way to contact you
You could eat a meal without interruption
Writing a letter was a pleasure too

I remember when:

I know some parents do teach them, i just hope that the children never forget them....Seren
