It seems a long time ago

As I sit with my grandfather’s on his porch

While we share some quality time together

As we sit and watch the world passes by

I hear and absorb the stories he tells

I listen with hungry ears

I wish I could ask the question I now have

But then I only had a young child mind

The world was a larger place with wonder and surprise

I knew little of the surrounding beside this wise man

His voice sound strong and confident

Memories from a porch I experience now at night

I remember his hands now my hands seem similar

I remember his advice which now I am experiencing

I see though his eyes so long ago

A memory from a porch flows freshly in my muse

We shared many laughs

As we talked with one another

He served as a love one and role model

I wish I could share his porch with no other

I hope he can see me as I am today

I hope he would understand my decision and way

To say I love you is still strong in my soul now

Memories from a porch will be with me for all times
