Grandmother Poem by Christopher Shepheard

Grandmother

Rating: 5.0


You never complain;
You hold your head erect,
White petals wither;
What think you, feel you,
Never utter?

One
Last
Faded daffodil
Nods out of season;
Less
Substantial
Blossoms smother.

You too have done your work,
Left
Your perpetuation.
Moved, you do not move,
Full of sadness, you speak not;
Richly-laden vessel
Brim full,
You make no noise…

Not even to me.

(1991)
