    Remember When

    Remember when:
    Throwing china berries at each other was how we handled a feud;
    Afterwards enjoying sour grass that we all picked and chewed.

    Remember when:
    Siblings and cousins shared baths in wash tubs made of tin;
    Breakfast was after you plucked the eggs from underneath a hen.

    Remember when:
    Your grandpa used the mule and a plow to turn the soil;
    Grandma's cure for every ailment was the good ole castor oil.

    Remember now:
    It's our place to pass on, all these memories of such;
    Life won't be that way again, sometimes I miss those days so much.
