The Grandmother I Once Never Knew
May 13, 2010
The soft brown hair,
Glowing in the hot summer sun,
The tan rosy cheeks,
Pink from humidity,
The small, heart-shaped face,
Filled with emotion
The picture, small in size,
Filled with detail
Old in date,
Fresh with memories,
The small, innocent figure,
Had once wore the little red dress,
Captured by that delicate smile
It had never dawned upon me,
That a point in her life,
She was genuinely happy,
That the emotionless face
Was once filled with emotion
Not one characteristic of that 5’ by 9’ photo
Could resemble her today,
Her soft, delicateness wasn’t evident anymore
It was all gone, along with her personality,
I missed it, I missed it all,
I missed the grandmother I once never knew
