Grandfather

I longed
for some love
and he reached in his pocket
for a quarter.

    Regional Writing poetry contest, out of an unsually high number
    of submissions. She also placed 10th of out hundreds of short story submissions to WOW (Women on Writing.) Check out her

    I wonder if a quarter was love
    to him
    so much expressed in so few words~

    different times…….different intentions…different needs….different expectations….too many differences to match…

    I love what this poem says. We have different ways of showing love. It depends on who we are and what we have and what the moment is. Thanks for sharing this one.
