Back when the world was grandma's couch
of comfy sun-kissed plush
that would dispel our biggest ouch
while springs sang softly, "Hush",
back when the teddy bears weren't toys,
but pals, when you and I
shared tons of troubles, tons of joys
and one enormous sky,
back when beginnings had no end,
before the why and how,
we used to know the truth, my friend -
all that we have is now.
Live for the Love of it,

A reminder of grandmothers... very nice. Thank you. ~Jules
