[PW] Re: Folksy Poem

[Douglas Eric Anderson]

This is a long shot, but there is a Billy Joel song titled "I've Loved
These Days".  Lyrics are available (perhaps not altogether legally) at

http://www.sing365.com/music/Lyric.nsf/I've-Loved-These-Days-lyrics-Billy-Joel/DF0F2412AFAEB708482568700021B8F1

-- among other places.  The lyrics resemble the snippets you've posted,
and the tone is very similar, but there are some significant differences.

Hope this helps --

Doug A.
