Grandpa & Grandma Barker

I Remember

I remember little things we made

Little things we did and said

Grandpa’s pipe and cool green shade

Clean sheets tucked nicely on the bed

I remember corn ten feet tall

Grandpa hoeing down each row

Seeing my first Hollyhock doll

And Grandma teaching me to sew

I remember good old King

And the yellow cat, the squirrels, the hawks

Hearing that mans bagpipes sing

Quiet times and Quiet talks

I remember sleeping in Grandpa’s chair

Ape man records, owls and frogs

Summer vacations I spent there

The neighbor’s pond and funny dogs

I remember Mrs. East and Mrs. West

The dollhouse we made so magnificent

Christmas presents I liked best

Good times, well spent

I remember little trinkets and little toys

Meeting Jasper Jay and Winnie the Pooh

Special times and special joys

But mostly just that I love you.
