Southerners Remember

SOUTHERNERS REMEMBER
 Southern folks remember when
 All of the stores in town 
 (except maybe a few gas stations )
 Closed on Sundays...
 Everyone went to church 
 And the preacher was always invited 
 To someone's house to eat after services.
 We remember when 
 Cars pulled off to the side of the road 
 As a funeral procession passed...
 And when the whole "village"
 Really DID help raise the child .
