Give me back the seventies

the seventies is my go-to decade for it is when I was my cutest and my three daughters were born I looked terrific in my bell bottom jeans the edge of them had rickrack and lace I embroidered a happy face and flowers on her pockets my go-to vest was loaded with fringe I wore my hair long and messy; I felt wild and free the music of the seventies was anti-war Folk music of the Mamas and Papas The Carol Burnett Show was marvelous As was Barney Fife on Andy Griffith Women did not have to wear make up We could burn our bras, and we did Helen Reddy wrote and sang “I am Woman” It was a powerful time for us, especially me.
