Little Ophelia
Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so easy
Lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other come what may
Promise is really something people get
Not just something they would say
Families really bowed their heads to pray
Daddies really never go away
Oh, grandpa tell me 'bout the good old days
Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call progress but I just don't know
And grandpa, let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture of long ago.
Lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other come what may
Promise is really something people get
Not just something they would say
Families really bowed their heads to pray
Daddies really never go away
Oh, grandpa tell me 'bout the good old days.

Hola bloggers! Yes, sometimes when we feel disappointed about the fast-paced
life we lead today we tend to wander back into the mellow past and remember the way
things used to be... or we just sit beside our grandparents and ask them about the good
old days. I can still remember when I did this with my grandfather...I could see how his eyes
lightened up remembering the precious past he cherished all his life. Nowadays, most often
we become disappointed with the negative effects of a permissive society but let's not
fret because life is still beautiful to live if we put everything in the right perspective.
When we give the Lord our time, our talents, and our life, we will be able to view everything
that comes as being directed by His hand. Each moment of each day will be seen as ordained
by His grace. So let's follow Him like the thread folows the needle because the closer we follow the Lord, the clearer we see His leading.
Have a great and blessed day bloggers!
Sincerely,
Ophelia
