In His Garden

I recently spoke to my grandfather. The conversation sparked memories and a few ku... all with the same theme, but easily read separately.

in his garden

grandpa grows tomorrow-

we children play

 

soft, kind words

grandpa’s calloused hand-

change expected

 

mendocino

morning fog lingers-

grandpa understands

 

morning coffee

grandpa’s only vice-

before starbucks

 

comfortable fire-

grandpa’s early rising

unnoticed

My dear Lori,
If only I could write with such vivid brilliance in such few words, I would save my local post office a burdensome task.

Another wish is if I could frame the wonderful images you paint in my mind.

With respect and admiration,
Richard

Your expression of love is felt here strongly LOri!
Nice to read you again!
Have a Great 4th of July, celebrating those lives we must never forget for the freedom that we are blessed to have!

I feel such serene peace reading this poem, you have shared!
Thank YOU Lori
Your Grandfather sounds like a peaceful loving strong willed man! That loves to live the simple life ~ but enjoys hard living with appreciation. I miss my Grandpa, he passed on when I was 12yrs.

Warmest Blessings, Love and Hugs, Purple Lady Passion, SHEExooo

I live this loving tribute to grandpa vicariously, Lori,
having never known either of my grandfathers, except in
manufactured memories of a time that never was. Thanks-gene.

Lori,
This reminded me so much of my own grandfather. He came to live with us after Grandma passed away. As a child there was so much I took for granted about my Grandfather. He's gone now but I still have fond memories that will always linger in my mind.


Blessings,
~Linda
