Paint A Picture of Chair

#1

Wandering into moonglow of years
I recall Grandma's voice lilting
With stories aged by time --
Musings fade now on cushions
Till she rockabyes no more

The chair helps us to know they were there..a visual manifestation that enhances our grief and joy at remembering. You can hear her voice, and her stories. Congrats!

Shhhh, yes. We had the same idea but you went with grandma. Was that a rocking chair? I thought it was a normal chair but I couldn't be sure. Picture one cries out for nostalgia.

Dear Nette, Your poem brings forth so many memories and conversations with my grandmother. I am now a grandfather, and I hope to have that same wisdom for their lives. Thanks for the memories! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Granny's wisdom, like the passage of time no longer with us.

Precious are the memories of our parents and grandparents. When we see the things used by them, especially a rocking chair or armchair now lying vacant, we think of them. A great entry Nette.
