Love Poem: Fond Memories

Fond Memories

If I could just remember 
parental love complete. 
Did they ever touch me?
My Grandma rubbed my feet.

If I could just remember,
a word of praise once said,
one kiss goodnight or pride so bright.
Just negative...  INSTEAD!

I thank them for provisions-
a home, some food, nice clothes.
But what they thought of me as me
This truth,  God only knows. 

If I could just remember 
the persons that they were
and feel a love of dear recall
from him or maybe her.
