I often think of the places I've stayed
The reasons I was there
And the memories that were made.
I remember mi mi s house,
I visited every week
And though it smelled of smoke
I never wanted to leave.
I remember the movies we watched
All the time
I remember the joy
That filled her heart and mine.
I also recall other memories
Made in a house just off college street.
In the summer we would go
And try to beat the heat
Nanny always had ice cream
And good watermelon to eat.
In these houses I learned so much
Just watching my grandmothers
As I grew up.
We laughed we played,
We watched TV
And sometimes we were just
Plain silly.
Oh how I wish to these places
I could go
If I could just see their faces and just say hello.
