Nana

Although probably not my best, this poem is emotional for me.

She comes alive for me again

As I look at the old picture.

Raven curly hair surrounding her face.

 

A blue cotton dress with little,

Pink flowers surround her soft body

As she sits at the picnic table, watching me.

 

My dad walks through the park behind Nana,

Probably to see mom, but I'm too busy

To notice with my yellow, tin pale and blue shovel.

 

The navy blue swimsuit with white polka dots

Hug my chubby two-year-old body.

A yellow hat protects my fine hair from the sun.

 

She is looking at me with tenderness.

Her round hands are waiting to help me

Put the soft dirt into my pale.

 

She wears my favorite smile,

The smile that locks away secrets but

We're the only two who know they exist.

 

My brother was too late to meet you.

My sister will never know your sweetness.

The cancer took you away.

 

I put Nana back in her box, holding back tears

I still can't figure it out.

I only knew her for two years.

I put Nana back in her box, holding back tears

I still can't figure it out.

I only knew her for two years.

I find it amazing what we humans are capable of when it comes to love. I loved three people before I ever met them and I have loved someone, I never met.

I think this is a beautiful poem , sad but you are write so well, I am also inspired by pictures, and I recognise few motives that remind me my writing :) ...

I loved :
She wears my favorite smile,

The smile that locks away secrets but

We're the only two who know they exist.



My brother was too late to meet you.

My sister will never know your sweetness.

The cancer took you away.


You left with the sweet memories, I am sure she will stay in your heart forever Yossi
