Cornbread and Beans
Cornbread and beans
may be all we had to eat.
But at that supper table
our whole family would meet.
We did'nt talk of hard times
to us there was none.
For around this table was family
and as a family we were one.
Around this supper table
each talked of hopes and dreams.
And we all listend closely
while eating cornbread and beans.
Even at Thanksgiving
a turkey was never seen.
The meat was fried rabbit
and cornbread and beans.
To us it did'nt matter
for around this table we could still meet
And to us that was the Blessing
the meal did'nt have to be a feast.
Now some 40 years later
I can close my eyes and see
The whole family around that table
eating cornbread and beans.....
