Moma's Bench



I visited my old home in Rum Gully
 and I sat on Moma's bench today.
 Dusty, old, falling apart~
 but it seems like just yesterday:

 Moma peeling tomatoes to can~
 I am sitting there too.
 Moma peeling as I ate
 and smiling as I chewed.

 ~~~ ~ ~~

 Memories of that old bench
 grow sweeter each day.
 In daydreams I see Moma~
 ' seems like just yesterday.
