Love Exchange

Tonight, I'm heading to the airport for my second grad trip in Australia. Since I'm leaving (and since I actually managed to wake up as the sun did), I decided to join my grandfather on his morning coffee stroll. His face immediately lit up when I proposed to join him. He smiled so big.

As I got myself ready to go out, my grandfather told me to stay in and spend time with my grandmother (now bedridden) instead so she wouldn't be so bored. When he proposed this, his face lit up even more. I still think it's amazing how two people can still show so much affection for each other after so many years.

Right before my grandfather left, he shouted to his wife "Hey, I'm leaving now. Agnes is here with you! Be good! I'll bring back your favorite biscuits from the market. I'll be back shortly!" She replied, "Did you bring enough money?" This short exchange is so filled with love, I can't even.

Love Exchange

"Dear grandfather,
shall I go to the market with you today?"

"Lovely child,

why don't you stay home with grandma instead?

I can go there by my lonesome;

my legs work fine."

"Wear a hat for the sun,

sweet husband of mine."

Little Things

Wrote this with feelings of nostalgia cause this was one of the songs i loved for him to sing to me. He probably didn't understand how much the words resonated with me and how much I wanted to hear those words from his mouth. So, this arrangement has hints of hope as well as sadness.




On another note, I'm really trying to improve with every new arrangement. If you have any feedback, feel free to comment. All constructive feedback is appreciated!
