Days of Old

I remember way back in my childhood time,                                                                                                                                when most people I knew walked inside the line.                                                                                                                                      Both men and women were hard workers back then.                                                                                                                                     Mother had gardens and raised both roosters and hens.                                                                                                            

Also, mother mostly worked hard at our home.                                                                                                                         Most days she was home busy and all alone.                                                                                                            Mother was also a part time beautician.                                                                                                                             She provided care for hair like a physician                                                                                                        

would undertake the health care of his patients.                                                                                                Mother did their hair as well as listened to her clients.                                                                                            We kids were either busy everyday at school, studying                                                                                                                 the academics, keeping the golden rule, or busy playing.
