Family Tree

They stand in cottonfields of snowy white The faded, black and white of my grandparents.. Smiling as though everything were alright. Cotton sacks hung low down to the ground, As the depression came calling, Twas the way of life... Those first thick, blury, color pictures of mom and dad From those old peel away Polaroid cameras made, Of the very first brand new car they ever bought.. A baby blue Chev wagon.. I wonder now..what they thought? :-) Their dirty kids holding stringers of slimy fish Proudly displaying today's big catch Shiny bright new pictures of grandkids with phones Who look with wonderment...
