Hometown Reflections

(On Gleason, Tennessee)

As I sit on my porch on a warm summer’s eve

At peace with the sun going down

My mind wanders back to my childhood days

Growing up in a small southern town

It was a town where you knew everyone

And where you liked most everybody you knew

A town where families helped others in need

And where others were there to help you

It was a time when kids going to school

Were actually encouraged to pray

And you didn’t worry about offending someone

If you chose to observe Christmas day.

It was a time where deals were made

And then sealed by two men shaking hands

And a place where nothing was valued more

Than the character and the word of a man.

It was also a time of warm summer days

That now seem - so very long ago

Days filled with friends - baseball and bible school

And Saturday afternoon picture shows

As a place to live during one’s early years

A better place could never be found

I am pleased to say that I was born right here

In this great little Tennessee town
