Being Poor and Being Clean are Two Different Things

Back in the old days, we may have been poor, but we were clean.

We didn't drive around in shiny new trucks, with the latest gadgets at our fingertips. But we were clean.

Some of my fondest memories were growing up in a community were my friends and I ran around playing. We may have had to work as a youth, but we still had fun.

Our families were big, and were close knit. As it should be.
