Great Grandfather John Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Great Grandfather John

Rating: 5.0


I love you but I don't know you,
I miss you, though you've never been here

I long for what the years have stolen…
a vacant memory so dear

I feel you across the hallowed spectrum,
of death and then beyond

Where our spirits write the words together…
different verses—the same song

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: May,2019)
