Where Have All Our Values Gone?
The moral values of the
Modern day world
Differ from values of yore
When a handshake sufficed
For a signature,
Never needed was anything more.
A man’s reputation was an
Object of pride,
A man was as good as his word.
No strings were attached
To the lending of hands,
No refusal to help ever heard.
Family life values
Were taught in the home,
And the word of a parent was law.
But that was when families
Were largely intact
With sources from which
They could draw.
We can dream of re-living
Those long bygone days,
But reality, alas, must be faced.
For not by wishful thinking or dreams
Can our living styles now be replaced.
Just what is the key for
Reversing the trend
As away from true values we roam?
It’s beyond our solution,
But perhaps we should ask
That God fill the void in the home.
