A time when a family unit vows of strength.

Along with solidarity with neighbors that lived nearby.

Doors were hardly closed to the outside world.

A time of family gatherings with picnics,

Lemonade stands and bake sales at church.

Purpose within a real community,

Living with less fear apposed today society.

It was a time when things were placed into perspective.

Family ties and family values.

Loyalty, dignity, trust, faith, hopes, and dreams  

Held together with honor and respect.   

The young learning from the elders a sense of  balance.

Not taking things for granted.

Story telling time being told from long ago.

Making way for inventions.
