Memories of a special kind
Life lived in a different time
Treasures locked within my mind
Love without a tie to bind
Simple life raised on a farm
Loved, protected, safe from harm
Nestled in my Mother's arms
Big fireplace to keep me warm
Memories of the feather bed
Where I used to lay my head
After evening prayers were said
Peaceful slumber with no dread
Daddy plowing in the field
Working hard for Autumn's yield
Feeling happy and fulfilled
When work ethic was instilled
Two room school house on a hill
Walking there thru cotton field
Beautiful memories with me still
I treasure these and always will
