Our Forefathers
History is about our forefathersWe have all forgotten
They worked this land with their hands
or a few tools they made
To have a better way for their
families to eat the next day
They must be in the fields at first light
You see the work must be done by dark
They went to bed early every night
They were tired and hungry
They ate their dinner by candle light
The food was grown every year and
They raised their meat to eat
If they were lucky by fall of the year
they ordered something from sears
to wear
They were close back then neighbors
were their friends
They helped each other plant the crops
The women were close
They had precious bonds together
Like helping each other with the birth
of their children
No Dr. was needed they had each other
Each elderly person of today is an
inspiration to me
They worked hard for us to know the
meaning of work and pride
We need to know
What a history lesson they have left
us to read about today
