Bend In The Road: A Collection of Rhymes (Large Print)

Dr. George Winter was born in 1930 in Heatherdown, Alberta, Canada. His life began on a desperately poor farm surrounded by equally poor farm neighbours during the Great Depression.

MEMORY

Some old folks have memories vast
For times that they enjoyed With details of a laughing past
Before they were employed

Their siblings who were sometimes there
Recall events quite different They have to question when and where
Arose a memory so magnificent.

Leonard Cohen wrote:

Forget your perfect offering,
There is a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.
