Will You Remember Me?

by Willow   May 25, 2005


Will you remember me
When I am old?
To feeble to see
To fragile to be bold
Now here I sit, in my creeky rocking chair
To my quiet room will you come?
Or am I one of those thoughts you give only a second's care
Do you think for you Grandma is to dumb?
I'm beginning to forget things
But not everythinkg that matters
And my voice barely works, let alone can i sing
My body is saggy, and I don't worry about getting fatter
Life has been so long of a journey
Memories that hurt
Oh God, help me, I miss Ernie
I am getting to weak to climb up the stairs
I wear big round glasses
And I have all gray hairs
And a young boy once told me I was as slow as molasses
The days grow shorter for me
One day you'll wake up
And I'll never see
I take advantage of each and every hug
My granddaughter's kiss is something I'll miss
On the front it says's #1 Grandma on my coffee mug
but every day for me is a memory in time, One I hope you'll never miss
So don't forget all the times we had
and laugh

    I wouldn't say your rhymes are forced, infact i think you came upn with some unusual ones which if anything are intriguing. The one that possibly could be interpretted to be forced is, in my opinion is:

    But my heart hangs more dangerously so
    On a promise strung low

    This mainly because i am slightly stupid and know not precisely what you mean. I would not critizise that however, unless asked as i feel the poem is one of the best i have read to this date. You have a unique style and if this is how you choose to write, don't let anyone say it is wrong. Also they are your poems and if you like them, as you say you do, i don't think it matters if anyone else, including myself, like them. However, i'd better point out I do like it, very much.

    Good Luck! I'll keep checking on your work.

    Hi, i'd just like to say i thought 'With you' was excellent, especially the part If I could get for you the stars in the sky
    I might fail, but I'll forever try

    and it was really creative and it flowed well. It was very captivating. It was a great read.

    I thought this poem was an interesting read from an unusual angle as it appears the grandmother still feels young at heart by thre parts about ernie and te boy. well done! both are great!
