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."
