Love, Yes Love

Never much money did my grandpa have, but love, yes love, was all around, his weathered skin, and calloused hands, showed the world, he was a hardworking man. With a tired old mule, he plowed his fields, planting his crops, so all could have meals. No Food Stamps way back then, just neighbor helping neighbor, time, and again. All the children had chores to do, before the rooster crowed, before they left for school. Five little children, their hair so white, walking down a dirt road, imagine the sight. .
