Aura

Father told me how to walk and talk, Now I take his hand to walk. I remind him how to talk. He knows no words, I teach him. He doesn't remember the time. The time is gone. Once, he was a father. Once I was the child he never taught. Once he took my hand to walk to the park. Today, I take his arm to go downstairs. He taught me words I couldn't understand them, but now I teach him words to remember. He said to me as child, make a wooden cup for the grandpa because he is old and he will breake it. I thought that maybe he has to make a special one for him for not to be broken. My mind changed, and I met my mum, who told me. Never change your principles and take his hand when he won't be able to even walk. That will make your aura to be pure and your hand will be taken as you deserve.

Maria, thank you for entering your poem in my contest. I enjoyed reading it. It did not have the quote number on it so I could know from which quote you were going to write your poem. Thank you for sharing with me and poetry soup. Keep on writing. Sara

Hello Sara, Thanks for your lovely comment. Well, I am new here at PoetrySoup, so I sometimes don't know much if I'm applying well for contests. I don't know what a quote or a quote number is.. I just do it. It doesn't matter too much. I love poetry since I was a child, but I've never learnt how to write it and another thing is that I'm a Spaniard writing in English and It isn"t always easy. Anyway, I just follow heart and mind, and write it down. I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much.
