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!
