It was a different feeling
Out at Grandma’s farm
Uncles out hunting
Rabbits or pheasants
No schedule
Meals always available
Grandma busy in the kitchen
Or sitting with her sewing basket
Uncles in or out
Success or complaint
Weather never mattered
Enrichment knows no season
Nor emotions and sentiment
Now looking back, although insignificant
The memory of being there
Was one of the greatest things
That mattered in my life
Rabbits, birds and seasons
Come and go; skies change
Sounds vary as does
The fragrance of the earth
I changed; we all change
As time changes and
We wonder at times if it is for the better
