Dad and I were buddies and many Saturdays we went to town to visit galleries and history. This is a very true memory for me and I smile each time I remember those great days!

Being born in Savannah
Having a father as a sage
Gave me the insight needed
To make the most of my days
Walking into Savannah
Where squares dotted the town
We'd visit the friends in the art commune
Find monuments to walk around
Tomichichi was a an indian chief
He met Oglethorpe at the river
He welcomed the ships that came into port
With the goodies they bartered and delivered
His tomb is in a square downtown
I'll never forget the first time
Dad advised me to walk around this tomb
Then in a half-hearted rhyme
He said,
"The more you go round this gravesite
The better the chance you will hear
Tomichichi say nothing... so listen up
Then make another circle, my dear!"
I'd go around again and again
Tuning my senses for a sound
He never said nothing and that was a fact
Not one word as I went round and round.
