Yesteryear's Treasures

I long to "ope" the "cupboards"
Of the folks of yesteryear,
To peek into their daily lives
And conversations hear.

Life then was more simple,
Their priorities more clear.
They worked hard and persevered
With faith which was sincere.

The "cupboards" of these homes
Were filled with wealth and treasure.
Though they were not rich
They had wisdom in great measure.

We can learn a lot today
By looking at "the past"...
To learn of their great treasure
Which they knew would last and last.
