Memories of a better time warm my heart.
Younger days when life was easier to face.
Terrors only seemed to exist in movies.
Religion was a place of safety and love.
Older people were respected and obeyed.
Ugly was a word that was seldom heard of.
Believing the future was a sacred gift.
Living now seems so much colder then before.
Everyone holding on to so much anger.
Denying the truth that once set their hearts free.
Mindlessly feeding the evil in our World.
I close my eyes and struggle to find the words.
Nearer my God to thee I pray to the Lord.
Devoted to follow my Lord and Saviour.
