Start Giving

Born in the midst of the great depression
A time when everyone knew it was hard
I would walk three miles for commodities
Maybe powdered milk or a bucket of lard

We were all poor back in those lean years
It was difficult just to find something to eat
A hard biscuit with a plate of white beans
We knew back then that was really a treat 

Some how we survived by the grace of God
As we look back to those days now long past
He gave us the strength to get through it all
It took a world war so it would no longer last

I look back to that time and thank the Lord
That He gave a much different way of living
Today there are still people who need help
Open up the old pocketbook and start giving
