My Gramma S Couch

Won’t you please take me back
To the brown couch at my Gramma’s house 
With the big gold-framed antique mirror over it
And hand me Grampa’s old transistor radio
Covered in leather with glorious knobs
That brought me the glorious music of
The Beatles
While I played very carefully with 
Her precious dog collection 
Some tiny, some large
Hand blown glass or

Muddy Water's Gramma Gave Us Licorice

Muddy Water's Gramma gave us licorice

I walked the old Kenwood neighborhood with my twin little brother and sister in tow,
'hold there hands and look both ways before you cross the street'
No use trying to talk my way out, knew it was the only way mom would let me go. 

October's new moon, peaked in and

Love For Gramma

Love for gramma
True Love for Gramma
I said to my mother I want to go to Gramma's house.
She said, not today!
I was attempting to walk but with no luck.
I would ride my bike, but it's just a trick.

I took a box and went inside to cry I want to

Turn the Pages Gramma

"come out here and talk to me" ... I'd sigh and say "alright"

In the summer,
We'd play hide-and-seek,
Go to baseball games at the Little League,
Sit on her front porch and sing,
Fall in love with the boy across the street,
In the summer up
