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
