DAYS OF LONG AGO

The days sitting on the porch drinking lemonade
When people driving by waved, they were not afraid

And drinking coffee with your neighbor across the fence
Because back then, it seems not everyone was on the defense

Meeting up with friends was an easier task
Lives were slower, all you had to do was ask

Children played games in the street
You could hear their little feet slapping a beat

Church members did not define you
Rather you went because the Word made you feel true

Now our days are a tangle of electronic devices
And it seems most have one of these vices

So we walk around with a plug in our ear
It is a wonder no one can hear

Long gone are the days of a slower pace
But it is nice to go back and remember that place
