How Things Used to Be
The older I get the more I think
About how things used to be
It’s almost like another life
That’s what it seems to me
We raised chickens every year
And I loved to gather eggs
Starting with a box of chicks
Watching them till adult stage
Creative games children played
No technology like these days
Monopoly and hide n go seek
Yes, they were sure the craze
My mom was there every single day
After school when we came home
A healthy snack and homework
We weren’t allowed to roam
The cars were so much different
And you couldn’t drive so fast
We’d have them for years and years
Like most things they would last
If you dig out old photographs
So many thoughts they bring
It sure is fun to take the time
And do a little remembering!
