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.
