Inheritance

Our piano with silence speaks The rickety rocking chair squeaks Where Mama sits and stares each day Music memories stored away Our loved inheritance remains Melodies cycling through our brains.

This poem has me thinking of my dear aunt who had Alzheimer’s and greeted her children like strangers. My cousins continued to visit her and said her little dog seemed to bring her joy because she didn’t have to remember anything for him. My best friend no longer remembers me and it is so sad for loved ones left behind. This is a sad but beautifully written poem David. Blessings xxoo
