Tell Me

Tell me about the Olden Days.

Tell me ‘bout life back then.

Tell me what you’re thinking

when you say:  “Remember when?”

Tell me what folks used to do –

all the ways they found to cope.

Tell me how they kept their faith

so they wouldn’t lose all hope.

Tell me how they met each day:

Dealt with laughter.  Dealt with sorrow.

Tell me how it used to be

so I can face tomorrow.
