In this time of economic downturn, we could all stop for a moment and reminisce about those days... the good old days.

For those of you who were there I want to take you on a journey A journey back into a simplier place and time A time that is forever etched upon your mind I want to jog your memory; I want to ask the question- Do you remember?... Do you remember those days? Those days when you couldn’t lie because it was a sin Those days when mom was queen and dad was still king Those days when everyone sat together and watched Rin-Tin-Tin When families gathered around the piano on weekends to bond and sing Those days when family members came together To pray, to socialize no matter what the weather Those days… Those days when our elders were respected and highly revered When folks worked on jobs till they retired or dropped dead Those days before Cellphones, Blackberries, Wiis, and MP3s Those days before Palm Pilots, Video Cameras, Ipods, and DVDs Those were the days… There were no color teevees only black and white And television and radio didn’t broadcast all night Those days before emails and personal computers Those days before children committed vile murders Those days when kids respected authority Before the government took control away from parents… The head of the family Those days when students prayed every morning in their schools When we all dutifully lived by The Golden Rule Those days were simplier…we had values then We had morals, we had virtues and Jesus was our friend We have morals, we have virtues, and folks, Jesus is still our friend… Oh yes, folks, Jesus is still our friend Copyright Pamilla deLeon- Lewis, 2008

Yes, Pamilla, I remember those days quite well, and I long to see them again. But I'm afraid that which we now cherish from the past will never be seen by us again. There are some things from the past that I do not wish to revisit; however, there are feelings from days gone by that I wish to have dwelling in me once more. I'm happy, for you, that you have not allowed cancer to claim you. It is very inspiring to hear you speak about the courageous battle you have fought against this bitter enemy. Keep fighting with all that is in you. But, somehow, I know you will do just that. Kind regards.

"Those Days"... and those days when the officers of government and the Congress obeyed the Constitution ~ USA ~ and the family meant home.

It would be wise for us to remember "Those Days" and to honor our families.

I have enjoyed the reading of "Those Days".

In respect and admiration,
