Long ago and far away
Simple times are tucked away
Remembrances of days of past
With special grace shall always last
 
We each may think of days gone by
Our spirits marvel with a sigh
Of all the work in life they gave
To pave the path in life we save
 
Working hard from dawn to dusk
Finding comfort just like us
Perhaps for them a simple way
But living in the time of day
 
Grateful for the earth they tended
For all the paths in life attended
These the pioneers we saver
That gives our life so much flavor.
