Grandparents

4w•©

So long as recipes still in the kitchen 
That means the ones you kept 
You cried and then slept 
Candies still in their pockets 
And you with their lockets 
They said 'don't say anyone' and we forever kept
They love us,we love them and accept 
Now we understood their long hugs smell like heaven
 no other place could ever feel so even

This feels like memory itself.🥰 Warm, a little messy, and impossible to let go of. 😘

One of your stronger recent challenge pieces, I think. "Candies still in their pockets / And you with their lockets" is such a vivid, powerful image to me.
