Childhood Memories

Summertime with grandma and schools out Greyhound bus riders we are on the way down south Me and my sisters Getting away from the city Early mornings with grandpa He has us garden picking Used to be grossed out Hearing all those hissing sounds City girl never worried about that on the cemented ground Summertime in the kitchen Snapping peas and beans Shucking corn mason jars stored This was when food was clean Sunday was family day We were always stuck with the dishes Grandma and our big family The truly love was our riches My cousin and I always walking the tracks To JJJs store just to get snacks Mt Pleasant center we would skip We thought we were grown I can hear my aunt voice saying take your fast tails home Memories of my childhood I know some can relate No worries about the world more love and less hate
