Crickets crying
bugs flying
lighting up the sky
nature's natural reply
to the Fourth of July

Still and sticky summer nights
on the porch by moonlight
rocking and discussing life
talk of how things "used to be"
with hopes of a better life for me

Memories of all these things
yesterday it seems
can be found
somewhere 'round
Grandma's House
