I Remember When...

I Remember When...

A Story by Theo Ratcliffe
"

This was a little story I wrote before my Grandfather passed away I never really wanted to talk about it but I think its time.

"
I remember when I was young.

The days his warm hand held mine.

The days I would sit on his lap, listening to his endless stories. 

People might have said he was crazy, but I knew the truth.

His stories were a fairy tale, and I couldn't wait to be a part of them. 

But years have passed since I remember when I was young.

I'm sitting in a chair beside his bed now, holding his pale, cold hand in mine. 

As he slowly fades away.

A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically. - Diane Ackerman more..
