See How You Give

"put on your doorstep to see how you give " live life in giving and taking live life loving or hating my Grandfather knew things before his time my muse , my memories of his being kind I have a picture of he and I The man with a pipe in his hand always a book he would read I clearly see why , I remember him reading me a story on wrinkled paper as if it had been once thrown away frustrated , The Poet , The Man , with Pipe in his hand asking as a child " where are the pictures ?" He replies " this book does not have them " I can not draw that well . I Love you Forever Grandpa Murray from Chicago , Do you read poems to children in Heaven ? Honoring James Murray The Poet .
