Occupation
elementary music teacher
the moment he was silenced
i found my voice

one of the great loves of my life
who called me
"mama-san"
"little mama"
fried me fish on friday
never fussed at me
kept my security pillow
'til i got out of school
made the perfect breakfast....
all six foot something of him
was wrapped around my little finger
from birth
until the tenth year of life
then the weight
(which i never minded)
was lifted

he had so much loved
and received so much love
that his heart was simply
overwhelmed
overjoyed
so it softly
and quietly
bid life
adieu
bid me
adieu

but when beauty died
it was reincarnated
and called
"poetry"

the silence was broken
the blank page filled...

my first words
were on the back
of the funeral program

cuz

the moment
he was silenced
i found my voice

rip- grandpa :)
