The Old Feed Mill
In a time when
things were so
simple, we use
to walk by
the old feed mill.
Sister and brother who
I really adored took
me to get a soda pop,
my what a time
that day was.
Never had tasted
any soda pop,
until this grand day,
Strawberry was the
flavor I picked,
standing there drinking
such a taste it had,
as I looked over at
the old feed mill,
feeling so good
about this special
day in my life
must have been
around 1948,
but the precious
memory of those
two being there
with me, it
was such a warm
and tender moment.
As we walked back
home, could smell
the odors coming
from the old feed mill
such a smell it produced.
The old feed mill is
gone now, as is the
gas station where
we went that special day
so many years ago,
but will carry those
memories for all time of
when we walked by
the old feed mill to get
my first soda pop.
