( THAT OLD FARM HOUSE ) MEMORIES CAME TO VISIT, THIS MORNING WITH ME, THEY TOOK ME ON A LITTLE TRIP, TO HOW IT USED TO BE, BACK THROUGH DAYS OF CHILHOOD, ON GEORGIAS COASTAL PLAIN, TO AN OLD HOUSE ON A HOG FARM, I WOULD LOVE TO BE THERE AGAIN, JUST AN OLD WOODEN HOUSE, WITH A STEEP TIN ROOF, MY LITTLE BROTHER GOT A BROKE LEG, THAT PROVED THIS WAS TRUE, IT HAD NO INDOOR PLUMBING, AND AN OUTHOUSE ACROSS THE YARD, WE HAD A GREAT BIG GARDEN, AND IN WINTER WE RINDERED LARD, MOMA COOKED ON AN OLD WOODSTOVE, MEALS FIT FOR A KING, AND THOUGH TIMES WERE HARD, MOMA WOULD ALWAYS SING, WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS, AND WE KNEW HE WAS WITH US EACH DAY, AND SHE TAUGHT US TO ALWAYS THANK HIM, AT BEDTIME WHEN WE KNELT TO PRAY, WE ALL WORKED HARD IN THE GARDEN, FROM SPRING TILL LATE IN THE FALL, PICKING AND CANNING AND FREEZING, UNTIL WE HAD GATHERED IT ALL, ON SUNDAYS WE WENT TO A LITTLE CHURCH, UNION HILL WAS ITS NAME, THAT IS WHERE I ACCEPTED CHRIST, AND MY LIFE BEGAN TO CHANGE, NOW I LIVE IN A MORE MODERN HOME, WITH INDOOR PLUMBING,AIR CONDITION AND SUCH, BUT IN MY HEART ITS THAT OLD FARM HOUSE, THAT I LONG FOR SO MUCH... by: dakota mcbride
