Array ( [sid] => 159411 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Nana [time] => 2010-05-01 05:10:01 [hometext] => A poem about saying what you feel before it's too late. [bodytext] =>

I go home as I sometimes do now,
to be social- to see the change.
Waving at the same old neighbours,
careful that I don't get chained.

I'm reminded of infant days gone,
in your kitchen- that humming fridge.
Now I see you and you're the small one.
Can’t help but notice that your face is getting thin

I long to hear you but you make no sense now.
I wish for quiet as you’re moaning on.
I look to mother, she can’t see what I can.
She smiles as she pours your tea.

Will I get the chance to say it?
Do I even want to hear the word?
I want you to know you are valued,
I should have said it when you understood.

Praying for a moment just to touch you-
let you know that I remember your grace.
So I do as the cups are clattered,
your cloudy eyes fix on my face.

I like to think that you get my meaning.
I think you do so I hold your hand.
I feel the softness of its wrinkled flesh
and I remember when you held mine. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Debris [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

A beautifully written poem. The emotions were expressed very well. Great job.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
