Life Before Cell Phones!

Homes were different,
not so long ago . . .
everyone took the time
to stop and say hello.

Dad went to work,
everyday eight to five
mom stayed at home
to flourish and thrive.

She made breakfast,
served it at the table
all gave thanks to God
for their morning staple.

Off to the school bus,
the children all went
and if they had to walk
there was no argument.

They bowed their heads,
in class rooms they’d pray
to God and their country
giving their allegiance away.

When school time was over,
homework was done
and when daddy got home
he played ball with his son.

Mom and her daughter,
prepared the family supper
when they were all finished
the kids helped with the clutter.

The family all gathered,
after the dishes were done
to talk about their day
or play games to have fun.

Off to bed they would go,
mom still tucked them all in
she listened to her children
confess to God their sin.

Life is very different,
today in our homes . . .
now that everyone has
their own cell-phones!

and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
