Grandpa’s eyes

By the time I knew him
Walking was a chore
Hearing was a problem
He wasn’t see’n very far
His stories were never faded
As sharp as the year before
But just like clouds or sun in the skies
I understood by looking in his eyes

He smoked everything his long life
All the way to his grave
Owned a few companies along the way
Raised a real big family
And had his black reclining chair
Never was it a disguise
I understood by looking in his eyes

I never knew about him until much later
He never talked about anything but me
I wasn’t old enough to know him
Like I wanted it to be
There wasn’t much to remember
But what I have cherished after he died
I will never forget looking into those eyes

Hi Louie. Sorry to disappoint you, but no poem from me tonight. For some strange reason I tend to be inspired to write about the - shall we say - seamier side of life and people. Perhaps my 'muse' is a crack ho'. hahahaha

Oh No! Don't go there! LOL

We can't have Amy's first thread banished to the 'Back Room'. She'd kill us!

This IS a family thread. : )

Tomorrows

Take a walk with me down this path of life,
Let us hold each other's hand,
Let us climb tomorrow’s mountains, or,
Run through yesterday's sands,

Let us soar in the wind of our hopes and dreams,
And bathe in forgetting seas,
We'll sunbathe in the future's light to come,
And in cool past shadows, sleep,

Let there be no burden we take along,
As we run to the future with glee,
Just remember three words when today is gone,
Tomorrow, you, and me.

~~~~ By Kevin James Rowley ~~~~


Hope you have a chance to come by today.
