So Long Ago

There was once a little settlement Good folks lived there long ago They worked hard to build a town So their daily life could flow They came from many places A new future they would build Young couples fell in love A commitment then was sealed They went to church on Sunday Made the best life that they could Transportation wasn’t easy With wagons made of wood Crossing the river in wagons Was such a treacherous journey Many didn’t make it through At times seemed like an eternity Then cars came on the scene Rustic service stations appeared A new great mode of travel Fewer problems then were feared More people joined their world The town soon filled to the brim General stores built for shopping Life wasn’t quite so grim The world opened up for them So many new places to go Life’s pieces fell in place In those years so long ago!
