The Good Old Days

The Good Old Days

How quiet can it be
On a Sunday morning free
The neighbor happily greets Lowe’s 
Tomorrow there will be clean clothes.

Time ago a preacher shook your hand
The choir was almost like a band,
There was the smell of roast awafting through.
And in the bed were me and you.

Once on a Sunday morning 



Tongue in cheek - once no one would be working on Sunday.

Ah, I remember those days well. Too bad they're gone. That people would stop the business cycle for one day was admirable; that they don't anymore --- not so much. :) Gershon

Hi Sunlite Wanter, lovely poem and full of emotions - it was great, we didn't even lock our front doors - trust, goodness and faith were the norm (mostly!) Well penned my friend. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
