Dreamy History Walk Over Cobblestones

I wonder what she dreamed when

She walked barefoot over cobblestone streets

In 1864.

Did she fancy where her future would take her

What her descendants would be?

Would they remember their veteran,

Her husband from the Civil War.

As crows perched on his wooden cross?

She dreamed of an assortment of children;

Maybe she even dreamed of me.

A marvelous nostalgic piece reminiscent of a mysterious era. Striking imagery of walking barefoot on cobblestone in 1864. Love it, Sunlite. A FAVE.
