Looking Back

It’s interesting to look back in time To when our country was new Folks were different back then When the population was so few The sunsets were just as beautiful Back then as they are today But life was so earthy and solid The values did not go astray The Native Americans, of course Didn’t have our fancy tools They did what they had to do Went by their own set of rules It’s eye opening to stop and think And study folks that lived before But you know, they are the ones Who worked hard to open many doors It’s like the difference in steam engines And the modern day Amtrak We need to take out of our lives Slow down and take time to look back!
