GRANDPA AND I

When I was a child way back in the day
my Grandpa and I took a trip for the day
Was a Saturday morning
and together once more...
I was alongside my Grandpa just like many times before
The birds were out singing
on such a warm summers day
I listened ever so closely
just to hear what they'd say
Was the music that drove me towards a love of the Earth
A connection in childhood
that's developed at birth
I wore pastel coloured clothing
my Grandpa wore his best hat
We both stepped in his carriage and together there sat
We drove on towards the city
we admired the sights
of a city in motion that just shared its delights
The great friendly old sidewalks
just welcomed them all
the young and the old
the big and the small
as they strolled through the city's most riveting sites
with their faces a glow as they smiled with delight
For without hesitation this great city did share
its treasures well...
however
and with whomever were there
As we walked with excitement down those well preserved streets
we were struck with the smells of some wonderful treats
We enjoyed all the smiles of all those who went by
as they walked through the city
taking time to say hi
My Grandpa and I
shared huge treasures that day
as we strolled through the city in the same accustomed way
Contently we wandered
as time passed us by
For those were the days.....
