Grandpa's Boots

Aziza S

I remember grabbing them after your service

Leaving in a hurry, being nervous

Time after you has been a bit of a blur

But three years later, I didn’t know where they were

I had moved around so much in an attempt to flee

The inescapable homesick feeling I had inside me

Through months spent somber and confused

I lost them already–your last pair of shoes

The search will never end

So I must stop looking for them

  • Comment from author about the poem: my grandpa was played the role of both my parents. when he passed, i didn't process his death until years later. i harbored my grief for a long time. losing the boots did make me incredibly sad but that was the key in me accepting his death and letting myself move on
