today
decision to take a walk
and advantage of a quiet space
he would've been 88 today
think about him nearly everyday
today
i don't live in his house
but his memories are with me
he read more books than anyone
always reading and eventually
rereading what he might forget
or did
today
all we really have sitting here
among strangers who have their own
today to deal with what are their thoughts
dare i ask or will that create unease among them
today
watched as a beautiful mother loved
her child's child as if her own
and it put love in my heart
there was so much in the room
as i stood at the doorway
it was hard not to be in the way
in a good way of course
today
the cars drive by the window
and long drives through Hanson
as a child come to mind
he lived in the city all his life
he used to drive through Hanson
when he would go out to lunch at his favorite
restaurant in the next town over
memories of yesterday enjoyed
today
on his birthday 88 years later...
