thank you Debbie it's a beautiful poem, "because you are the touchstone to my past, and my future's alibi"..I love that line. I want to keep his legacy alive, because I want Beli to always know what a wonderful and loving man her Great-grandfather was.
My grandaddy passed away a couple of years ago. Shortly before then I had written a poem for him. These are a couple of the stanzas:
ReplyDelete"Grandaddy, I never told you this-
but it`s important to me now,
to let you know how you change my life
in ways you know not how.
Memories of my infancy
do not belong to me;
Though I smile when they come from you,
so clear and sarcastically.
I love you more than you`ll ever know;
and it just dawned on me why:
Because you are the touchstone to my past,
and my future`s alibi!..."
Hold your good memories. :-)
