Poem

I long for the days of yesteryears
All the memories I hold dear
The way it was, my heart yearns
Lessons of life that I learned

Feeding his family, man labored
Helping hands for a neighbor
Compassion filled every heart
Every man did his part

Life was simple, without stress
One cheered another’s success
A man’s word sealed a deal
By a bed, a family kneeled

Life of the unborn was never taken
An innocent child never forsaken
Finacial status never mattered
Sunday services, a town gathered

God was welcomed in our schools
Children were made to follow rules
Creation was taught with Adam and Eve
Evolution, Big Bang, no one believed

A time when less was considered more
The sound of the opening of an old screen door
Children would play outside all day long
Children were taught right from wrong

Respect was demanded by the father and mother
Forgiveness was given to a brother 
A man and a woman, marriage defined 
Vows made, forever to bind

The Holy Spirit in every service
Every man sought for his purpose 
Faith produced miracles far and near
The truth was preached to every ear

In the kitchen, everything homemade
Family gatherings on Sunday
Apple pies made from scratch
Oh, how I wish to go back

General stores everyone shopped
Old time machines with bottles of pop
Candies ten cents a bar
Garden vegetables in a jar

I wish I could go back to days of old
A dirt road, I would love to stroll
Only to turn back the hands of time
To push a button and rewind

But those days, gone for good
Like a fairy tale in a book
Visiting those days, I close my eyes
Dreaming of yesteryears gone by
