RE: These Roots (Original Poetry)

in #poetry2 years ago

Awesome words Eric, what a wonderful tribute to your grandpa Walton! Yes they lived simple lives through extremely difficult times, and would be gobsmacked if they knew what the world offers today!
We simply place orders online or jump in the car when we need something, my Mom often stopped me dead in my tracks and ask why I needed to buy stuff when I have a pantry full of food. She taught me to think before I bought, not always wasy though!
Have a wonderful day further Eric 😊

Thank you! How I wish I could have met him. Hard times make tough men they say. We take so much for granted, don't we? Not everything about modern life is easier but an overwhelming majority of things are. Taking that pause before hitting the "buy" button is a very wise thing to do. I really love certain aspects of the older generations. Have an amazing Friday, Lizelle. It's always good to hear from you.
