The old toy is now just rubbish Thrown aside and discarded Lying beside the road Once valued, even sought for Paid for and now unwanted Torn apart in the wind and rain As the new toy is admired Adored, loved and cherished Forgotten is the valued treasure Lying inert and scorned Dirtied by many a loving touch Outgrown and left behind
thought of this while watching my grandkids playing with their "new toys"

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
