RE: Forever You (Day 73 of 100 -- Poetry challenge)

in #poetry7 years ago

I can really feel the love you have for your Grandpa it really jumps out , it is such a beautiful tribute to him. It is hard to remember sometimes those that leave us and it is funny how it is one thing that brings that memory of them to us, like a smell

safe and warm,
and an antiseptic smell.

I love the picture of him you paint with your words and the way in which you describe his constant presence in your life.

You hang in the corners
of these dream-like images

And how he has left you with such a gift, that some never get to experience

I’ve never forgotten
you showing me
that a man can give
freely of love,

I really like how this poem reads like a story that each memory comes to you and you can feel the child like innocence in the love you feel for him, that he still brings out such unconditional love , this is very beautiful. Every time I have read this poem it has warmed my heart and made me feel how lucky your grandpa was to have you and you to have him. Thank you for sharing such tenderness with us all.
