I have quite a lot of poetry that my grandmother (Nana) wrote, that I haven't yet posted on my site. I know she'd love to share all of it, but I expect she'd like a more personal atmosphere than Open#6 would offer her; so I'll post a few in the Pub before I send them to my site for posterity. Nana spent quite a lot of her time being nostalgic about her lost loved ones - especially my grandfather. I can't say I blame her there - He was pretty special...  ALONE By Poet Laureate Velma M. Carlson (1903-1996) I walk the Appalachian Trail, Two miles every day. Leaving Camp at seven-thirty; Time doesn't seem so long that way. As I walk along, sometimes I cry And feel so sad, alone. Nice to be with my children But, I'm nearer to him at home. I guess you know just how I feel? That half of me is gone? No matter what I try to do The days are - Oh, so long. Everyone is very kind. They do so much for me. But they can't heal my aching heart. For that will always be. Someday, I know I'll be with him. That he will come for me. I can't help being sad with grief Our love will always be. He said, "someday one of us will go And the other be alone - But the love we had Will linger on." And now I know it's so. 1987 [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 03-18-2000).] |
