When I Was Young

When I was young and just a lad I learned a lot right from my dad He taught me how to till the ground He taught me many things quite sound I learned to milk the goats we had When I was young and just a lad I learned to read the Word each day Then get down on my knees and pray My parents taught me how to be A gentleman for all to see When I was young and just a lad I did some work for my granddad I sanded in his workshop there His creations were oh so fair Now growing up was not that bad When I was young and just a lad Wrote 7/26/15
