Crumbled Memories

Ah, memories that crumbled to the ground that day; my childhood home, surrounded by tall trees- demolished, swept away. For progress sake . . . a bridge was built from town to town; to span the river- house and trees were wrested down- uprooted hearts, in sorrow, drown. Crumbled memories hold fast- weeping in the breeze. June 11, 2019 For Contest, Strand Special 6
