An Older Time

A time where phones and computers didn't exist, But a time where good ol' fashioned talking was in the mist. A time where hospitality was priority number one, And your grandma's cooking was better then anyones. A time where family would all sit at the table, All they had was a little tv and didn't even have cable. A time where family really did matter, Words were sincere,not just said to flatter. A time where your word meant something, And you wouldn't give away your values for anything. Now a days those things seen old fashioned, Sometimes I wish I could go to that age and time, Where a simplistic and peaceful life I would find.

It is sad how the times have changed so much, and these honest values now seem nostalgic. I think that life would be a lot better, if we could revolve back to a simpler time.... I really enjoyed your poem, Ettie. Very nicely done!
