See it through an old mans eyes...

It's a poem, but it doesn't rhyme like the others I've done... it just came to me!

From the moment I wake

I miss you already as I lay a kiss upon your neck. 

From the moment I eat

I miss you beside me, telling me to mind my manners. And take care on not spilling my food.

From the moment I come home

I miss seeing those loving blue eyes as we mold into a big hug.

From the moment I sleep

I miss holding your tiny body close to mine. 

From the moment I wake

I wish I didn't

as I wake to an empty bed, no kiss upon your soft shoulder

as I eat there's an empty chair beside me but I still remember my manners.

as I come home I'm not met with your loving looks and one of our blissful hugs

as I sleep I' am cold with no body of yours to keep me warm.

Author's Note

the reason i titled it 'see it through an old man eyes' is because it reminds me of my grandfather, this is kind of how he thinks and misses my grandmother!

Reviews

This is so touching yet so sad. I like this.
Emotions were well protrayed.

[Mauricio Montoya]

This is a very sad and touching piece it made me think of my grandmother along those same lines as this write. There’s not much more I can say other than thank you for sharing.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This is so Sad. I see it through his eyes too! Great Job!

[SpokenWord]

This makes me think of how so many of us say we want to fall in love and grow old together but we never consider what happens when one passes first and the other is left alone after all those wonderful years. How touching this write is, that even after the passing he misses her so and would prefer to be dreaming of her rather than face the lonely existence with out her.
