A poem about flickering fire light, fog, thunder, childhood and granddaddy’s feather bed.

Soft gray cloudy days
Nights with far off thunder
And cool misty drifting fog
Is comforting to me
As my granddaddy’s
feather bed

Snuggled deep and warm
Watching the fire flicker
In the old wood stove
The creak of rocking chairs
And quiet murmuring voices
The child remembers

    It is amazing how a child remembers and how vivid those memories are no matter how long ago.
    Well written. I enjoyed it.

    This poem tells so much about a childs relationship with a beloved granddad and how a child remembers.
