That Was Then, This Is Now
I love hearing stories,
stories from my grandparents.
They love to tell stories,
stories from many years ago.

Their parents roll their eyes
For we were never this way with “them”

The Old HouseI visited my grandparents today.
Their home has never changed
in all the years I’ve visited
since my life began.

Jim puffs on with grandeur.
The smell put...
