When I Was Young

When I was young I walked 30 miles in the snow to school With no shoes or clothes or candy coated treats No hands or feet either And that aint nothing easy I was nobody’s fool We crawled about on our bellies for a living Ate dirt and mud and lived on faith Our only friend was Jesus He gave us everything we needed Hard work, turkey on Thanksgiving More work, death and taxes What else could a person want? You youngins today don’t know how good you got it When I was young And walked 100 miles in the snow Or was it 30?....I don’t remember…. I'll have to ask Jesus He knows about religion and distances and other such things Entered "Jesus" poetry contest on 6/07/16 Sponsored by: Anthony Slausen
