I sit here in this rocking
chair that my grandpa sat
in every morning

He would drink his coffee
and watch sunrise bringing
with it the promise of
a new day

Now it is I who sit's in
this chair that my grandpa
sat in every afternoon

He would eat his lunch and
watch the birds and squirles
play as though they had no
worries

Now it is I who sit's in
this chair that my grandpa
would sit in every evening

He would snack on some peanuts
and wait for the deer to come
to the fields and graze.

My grandpa has not sat in this
rocking chair for many years
now

So I hold close this rocking
chair for it all I have left
since he passed when I was
only 3 years old

Even though I do not have
any memories of my grandpa
when I sit in his rocking
chair I can feel him sitting
here with me.
