UNCLE BILL’S PLACE

 It was summer
 Being home was okay
 With my siblings to play with
 All my chores to take care of
  
 Uncle Bill invited me
 To his home
 In northern Indiana
 It made me happy
  
 He gave me my own room
 Aunt Edna fed me well
 They took me places
 With my two cousins
  
 To the lake for swimming
 And town for shopping
 Also horseback riding
 The time of my life, I’d say
  
 It came to an end
 Life was over it seemed
 Back to the grind and
 What seemed like hopelessness
