Grandma's Room

Up creaky flight of narrow stairs Into a room thick with nostalgia Scent of old wartime forgotten perfumes Wrought iron bed with heirloom spread Velvet pillows wtih embroidered Niagara Falls Yellowed photos of Grandpa standing in garden Children in pewter frames long grown Smile from a distant past Dresser of dark wood with scratched mirror Where lace doillies sit on dust Silver hair brush set and glass decanters China jewellery box from Woolworth's Morning sun pours through velvet curtain Dust mites dance on beams Bedside clock still ticking out the seconds Of timeless memories
