Sights, Sounds, Smells

Flickers of memories in my eyes

The smells, the sounds, the feels

Oh, if only I could bring them back for a minute, an hour, a day

My grandpa shouting "Get Outta My Chair!"

Sending us screaming

Being a father of young children and having the gym getaway

The pool and the hot tub restoring sanity

Being a father of young children and rocking them to sleep

Making my brain a garden

Feeling that little body relax

That's a poem in itself

The voices I'll never hear again but can't forget

The smell of lunch in the basement at Golda Meir

The ceiling shaking at the library there when basketballs bounced above
