The Good Ole' Days

What ever happened to the good ole' days? Only memories left of those caring ways When people said just what they meant And a handshake was good enough for consent When words were simply taken to heart And trust never questioned when two would part Little things noticed, appreciation shared People made time...to show they cared Some think of this as the "simple" life House, kids, a dog...husband and wife But isn't that what it all boils down to? When the smoke finally clears ....its your family & you So lets not get lost or carried away In this plastic world that we've created today So much pain, war, confusion and misleading lies The only REAL innocence left hides in the child's eyes For they have not yet learned of the worlds wicked ways So we must teach them, the true values, of the GOOD OLE' DAYS!
