Ode to Black and White TV!
You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
"Good night, David; Good night, Chet".
Dependin' on the channel you tuned
You got Rob and Laura - or Ward and June.
It felt so good, felt so right.
Life looked better in black and white.
I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys
Dennis the Menace, the Cleaver boys
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train
Superman, Jimmy & Lois Lane.
Father Knows Best, Patty Duke
Rin Tin Tin and Lassie too,
Donna Reed on Thursday night--
Life looked better in black and white.
I wanna go back to black and white.
Everything always turned out right.
Simple people, simple lives
Good guys always won the fights.
Now nothin is the way it seems
In living color on the TV screen.
Too many murders, too much fight,
I wanna go back to black and white.
In God they trusted, in bed they slept.
A promise made was a promise kept.
They never cussed or broke their vows.
They'd never make the network now.
But if I could, I'd rather be
In a TV town in '53.
It felt so good, felt so right
Life looked better in black and white.
I'd trade all the channels on the satellite
If I could just turn back the clock tonight
To when everybody knew wrong from right
Life was better in black and white.

A TOMMY Tribute to MAMA!
Here's a personal tribute from a real "Tommy" to a real "Mama" now residing in heaven! If YOU have EVER been a kid, you will love and identify with this one. Used with Tommy's permission, who shares this very personal letter with the world! Thanks, Tommy!
Dear Mama,Tomorrow is your day and even though you have been in Heaven now for 13 years, I have a feeling that you are looking down on me so it's in this spirit that I write you this letter and share it with all my friends just to show the world how much I appreciated you and your Godly upbringing of me.
Please forgive me for being such a rambunctious youngster or monster but being a preacher's kid, I had a reputation to live up to. Besides, I did not have many friends for the same reason so my little mind was always spinning out of control seeing just how far I could push the envelope with out having to dig another garbage pit - Daddy's form of punishment ;-)
Then we moved out of the parsonage and to make ends meet, you had to go to work at Fisher-Price. I'm real sure that with all my toys, I have some that you actually worked on.
Forgive me for shooting Joy in the butt with me bb gun but I was really shooting at a bird on the fence and she just happened to be on the otherside. Oh, I missed the bird. LOL
But to be honest, it was she that split my head wide open with a brick when I would'nt let her on board my make believe boat and she's the one that threw the rock thru the car window when I wouldn't let her in and I got blamed for that. BTW, she also dumped my goldfish down the kitchen sink so I had to run 400 feet and patiently wait down by the creek where the drain line emptied for what seemed for forever until my friend came slithering out. Quite a daughter you raised there, Mama ;-)
Forgive me for running across Rt. 20 and running broadside into that car which ripped me wide open from breast to breast and knocked me back into the ditch. I knew you was gonna be mad at me as you were at the neighbors waiting for me to show up so we could ride to town with them and then I knew you'd really be upset when I finally was able to stand up and all my innards started falling out so I struggled across the road with both hands cradeling my insides. I thought it was kinda of cool but you sure did'nt. ;-)
You were a saint of a mama raising 4 kids plus being a minister's wife which unless you've been one, nobody can understand the pressure placed on you when your husband and my daddy was always off solving other families' problems. Seems the most I saw of my daddy was when i was in the hospital getting sewed up again.
And then there was the year that I came down with Polio and I have absolutely no memory of that whole year but I am sure that you went thru hell as I had turned 16 and I'm sure you were breathing a sigh of relief as I would be leaving the nest soon.
The one thing I learned about you is that you NEVER ever quit worrying about your only son even after he was married and was raising his own family of 5 kids. I did every thing I could think of to assure you that even though we had moved a 1000 miles away, we were fine but I doubt I ever got thru to you.
You were not only the world's best mama but you were also a servant to everyone you came into contact with. Your wheels never sat still as you were always helping someone else out and picking up any hitch hiker that you passed. Boy, you were brave but then you had your guardian Angel protecting you all the time.
The worst day of my life was the day that Daddy called and told me that you had had a massive heart attack and that you would not give up until I came home so she could say good by to me. Please believe me, I TRIED so hard to get a flight but every airport was fogged in east of the Mississippi river and all flights were grounded. I wore a hole in the floor pacing as I called every one I could think of to get me home but alas, Daddy called 6 hr.s later and said not to hurry as you had gone home. I'll never forgive myself for not being with you at that moment but I ask your forgiveness.
I did make it to your funeral though mama and it was so beautiful. Daddy did the service and told us kids not to shed a tear or he would come unglued so I have been grieving for 13 years.
Well, I just wanted to tell you Happy Mother's Day and it looks like I'll be seeing you real soon so stay by that gate and be watching for me. I love you.
Tommy and family.
