Memories
Teddy Bear, soft squishy guy
Pleasant picture--tear to my eye.
Tools in the basement, kids stop by
Sharing knowledge, sweet by and by.
Sewing her clothes, sharpens the seam
Sweet face, eyes--misty green,
Lovely lady, cuddles him warm
Little red box, love letters of war.
Stories from Grand dad, bounce on knee
Chocolate face, both him and me,
Walking the breakwater--waves over wall
Running fast, wet clothes in the hall.
Fresh jam for bread, peas from pod
Nature filled apron, treasures from God,
Oh Grandma--doily so nice
Love on the table, void of price.
Piano, Violin, music so bold
Family traits--our elders of old,
Frozen in time, prairie peace
Memories guarded--heavens valise.

"It was different when we were kids. In second grade, a teacher came in and gave us all a lecture about not smoking, and then they sent us over to arts and crafts to make ash-trays for Mother's Day."
--Paul Clay
The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.
