[hometext] => This is about my grandfather and what I think about when I see him
[bodytext] => My grandfather was a young man A reinforcer of a universal dream Hardened as he watched comrades die A fighter of the Nazi regime He returned home a hero But aged slowly with his memories A husband, then a father A hero of his own adversities He watched his children grow No longer dependent on his words of wisdom Seemingly seeking their own truths Creating an everlasting conundrum His aged eyes hold my stare As my tears refuse to flow A silent understanding forms between us That his memories are mine to know My father looks at me the same way His understanding of his own father's madness His own memories rewind and play As I grow into his gladness My grandfather's memories haunt him A never-ending storm As he watches my father watch me grow And I watch them as my own life forms My grandfather is a hero But before his life lights dim I want him to know his memories are mine And I will never forsake him [comments] => 8 [counter] => 251 [topic] => 38 [informant] => UnfallenTears [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )

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. ©
