A comment by Cade – Memories of my grandfather inspired me to write this poem. I think we all have things that have sentimental value to us, whether it be something that has been passed down from generation to generation or something that was given to us by a dear friend, and often times just a glimpse of that object or even the thought of it brings back memories.
