We are so spoiled by advances
No more going outside gathering water
No need to chop and cut firewood
No need to learn how to cook
Most have never seen a washboard
Modern conveniences are nice
I do love them truly, too much maybe
For when the water goes I realize
How easy I have had it, turn the faucet
Awe, but now I am reminded what luxury
That simple act brings, I miss it!
Just like when the power goes
It quickly reminds us to be grateful
Grateful for what I have, every day
Take nothing for granted, it’s not guaranteed
Learning how to go back isn’t always easy.
