hippy hair
and a red VW
Mama and me wound around
   your heart

brown van
  and my baby sister
Your wages so happily spent
  tenting

Our blue station wagon
   broken. crushed. wrote.
but not so our Mama

and we celebrated

Ford pickup automatic
  and a sassy daughter. me
pushing, pricking,
   slicing your heart
  
but you never came unwound

silver hair
  and a Durango to match
my pretty Mama and you
  campin' in the mountains

with happy grandkids

My baby boomer Daddy

Sunshine - thanks, I'm haven't shown him this yet

Startime - good for you, it would have been so cool to camp with my grandparents. I can't imagine the fun they all have - its different than camping with your parents

Thanks Passing Shadows

I just adored the uplifting feel of this; and, gee, it does bring back memories for me of earlier times.   ....jo
