Poems on the Bed
I sat upon my parents bed
reading old brown papers
written so long ago
poems filled with love
letters that made me laugh
all addressed to others
most of them gone.
They came from a simpler time
and were filled with a man
a man who I would never meet
but I am told still lives
within me.
They were for my cousins
they were for his friends
they were for my mother
and for his wife
They spoke of humor joy and life
and for a moment I felt a void
one I had never felt before
be filled
within it was the love
I never got to feel
the love between he
and I
the love of a man
and his granddaughter.
And so I sat upon my parents bed
and cried
