Poem Artwork

Grandpa, did you ever think

You would live to be this old?

 

“No, and I didn’t want to either.”

 

I think you shocked me with those words,

but I understand now

watching the eyes of our people close

listening to new babies cry

hoping to recognize

the voice of someone from our past.

My bones hurt when it rains

And I don’t quite care anymore

if the house gets painted

or anyone remembers I was here.

Sometimes, all I want

is a hot cup of coffee,

a book that will tell me something new,

the silence that reminds me of being content.

Sometimes, all I want
is a hot cup of coffee,
a book that will tell me something new,
the silence that reminds me of being content

These seemingly simple sentiments express such powerful meaning, Lynette. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

We can only fight for so long on this planet. Yes, the silence where you grow and not where you wonder.
My most favorite family member, Grandma Gunvor, my Fathers Mother, lived to be 96. Sheesh! She just fell down one day and didn't get back up. I loved her so much. We were such kindred spirits. And she baked the most exquisite bread from Swedish recipes and heaped on me a most incredible love. Your poem reminds me of her so much. I'm really looking forward to seeing her again. I'm feeling weary today.
Blessings ...
