I Wish that I could turn back time..............

I wish that I could turn back time
Where things really mattered
Time wasn't an issue
Families cherished the times
around the dinner table so
they could catch up on their day

I wish that I could turn back time
Where children actually listened
To their parents
They paid  attention  and
Sat up straight in their chairs

I wish that I could turn back time
Where TV was UHF and
A person had to get up
and change the channel
if they wanted to

I wish that I could turn back time
Where people sat on their porches at night
Everyone on the street knew each other
Everyone watched out for
 each others kids

I wish that I could turn back time
To that place where God wasn't avoided
in conversations because you didn't know
If the other person would be offended
If you spoke His name

I wish that I could turn back time
But, I can't.........
But I can remember those times
And talk about them with others.............
