Remembered

I'm trying my hand at poetry for the first time. Let me know how it is!!!

Aged hands reach out

And rest atop mine

Let me show you

Let me remind you how it goes

For once long ago

There was a song

Let me try to remember

Our hands press down in unison

Upon the ebony and ivory keys

A song that was once lost

Is found again

Once forgotten

But now taught

She teaches

And I learn

Much more than just a song

A lifestyle choice

To live

And breath

And love

And be

The one I was created to be

I grow up

She grows old

We rarely see each other anymore

She often forgets my name

I forget to cherish her

While she is here

She has taught me

Loved me

Shown me who I am

And now I remember

Days go by

Years roll on

Nana doesn't remember anymore

She can't live on her own

She cannot play

The way she used to

Her days are getting short

It's time for her to move on

Young hands reach out

And rest atop hers

Let me show you

Let me remind you how it goes

For once long ago

There was a song

Let me help you remember

Our hands press down in unison

Upon the ebony and ivory keys

A song that was once lost

Is found again

Once forgotten

But now remembered
