THE GOOD OL' DAYS

If you could see what we had seen
It matters how things used to be
Our mommas' eyes, her loving ways
Our papas' strength in them ol' days

Things used to be so good for me
We all have such fun memories
My brother, boy how he could run
When sister told what he had done

The family dog when just a pup
Had gone and dug moms' flowers up
The cat would play with anything
We had so much to do back then

It didn't matter where we went
Even though there weren't much money spent
Our happiness and time to share
Kept the family peace right there

How I wish we could all return
To show you just how much I've learned
The values that most have today
They don't care for much anyways

If they could all just look and see
What matters most is family
There's so much hatred goin' round
We lose the love we thought we found

Everyone runs to and fro
Not even sure just where to go
No wonder everybody says
They sure do miss the good ol' days
