Picture Perfect

Poised in the distance, in a scene of

Comfort and contentment together,

Sat in a grove of greenery and mellow

Weather. A gentleman gazing at his

Wife of many years, sat side by side -

Still he saw his blossoming bride of

Blessings and nurturing tears. Bringing

Back old memories abound as I imagine

My grandparents coupled silhouettes,

Seated upon the bench instead

Nestled among flowering red rosettes.

Grandmother Joyce's hair coiffed

And set, her smile beyond compare

And graciously met. Tip-toeing, her

Heels stepping to swinging beats,

Grandfather Jack dancing in time

With his reluctant but rhythmic feet.

His gentle smile I remember well,

Hidden in his secret draw where his

Favourite chocolate did dwell. Sharing

A heart-warming gift, our joy spreading

Through the clouds adrift. Seated in his

Well-cushioned chair, his dark framed

Glasses and contrasting grey hair.

While grandmother Joyce would busily

Bake, he would be tending to his garden

With his own rustic rake. Ever house

Proud she would flutter from room to

Room, as he took refuge in his shed

With the shovel and the broom.

Timeless and loved are the pictures

From the past, in memories living on,

Looming and vast. When I glance back

To the furrowed bench, the couple

Remain, as do my feelings for my

Beloved grandparents, akin to warm

Summer rain.
