Simpler times for us

A love poem for the slower side of life when things were not so hectic

We had a time when Life was simpler

When we weren't crushed for time or space

Love had room to grow it had its place

In our hearts and minds

Our souls intertwined 

In a world that was so unkind

But love was blind

We had our love to keep us together

When we could not pay off the credit card

and a meal was a loaf a bread and some jam

But we had our love to get us by

As we tried we tried

Things got tougher every day

The bills did not go away

every body wanted payed

Oh all the bills we had made

our love got us through 

when it was only me and you

We didn't have time to fight

I had to run for the next flight

we did not feel alone

as we had Jesus by the phone

Call him up for some help

We made it on a wing and a prayer

Thanks to God we had our savings in the bank

or we would of been under the tank

our hearts were so intertwined

I could not tell yours from mine

Author's Note

in those days we were very humble
when our world started to crumble

'/simpler Times for us'
Smitty Jas,
Hard work and little leisure time does create a place for focus on what is important.
Healthy relationship with that spouse takes on great meaning and is precious.
Yes it does keep a heart strong. Your poem is very relevant because many know
the value of hard and consistent labor and earning our way.
A beautiful write:
"We made it on a wing and a prayer
Thanks to God we had our savings in the bank
or we would of been under the tank
our hearts were so intertwined
I could not tell yours from mine."
Blessings to you and yours.
