“White Doilies For The Couch Arms”

While Grandpa cut fresh timber to reenforce the walls of the barn

Grandma was busy crocheting white doilies for the couch arms

Life was always busy living in the country come every single day

Doing on your own as a family and a trust in God made it that way

Seeds to plant for food now and to store for a winter food bank

Seeds for Grandma’s summer flower garden and its aroma of lilac

Grandpa’s wood chopping to feed the wood-burning cook stove

Water buckets to carry from the spring down the hill in the grove

While Grandpa cut fresh timber to reenforce the walls of the barn

Grandma was busy crocheting white doilies for the couch arms

Life was always busy living in the country come every single day

Doing on your own as a family and a trust in God made it that way

With food now on the table Grandma took off her kitchen apron

A country meal prepared as great as could ever be possibly done

Grandpa eyed the peach cobbler cooling on an open window sill

A corner slice would soon be on his dinner plate for his belly to fill

While Grandpa cut fresh timber to reenforce the walls of the barn

Grandma was busy crocheting white doilies for the couch arms

Life was always busy living in the country come every single day

Doing on your own as a family and a trust in God made it that way
