You've got your daddy's easy way,my grandmother says to me, holdingthe picture of my grandfather in her hands. I watch you with your friends and see him all over again.Where will the wedding supper be?Way down yonder in a hollow tree...We look at the pictures without talking.Sometimes, I don't know the words for things, or how to write the feeling of knowing that every dying person leaves something behind.I got my grandfather's easy way. Maybe I know this when I'm laughing. Maybe I know it when I think of daddy and he feels close enough for me to lay my head against his shoulder.I remember how he laughed, I tell my grandmother and she smiles and says,Because you laugh just like him. Two peas in a pod, you were.Two peas in a pod we were.
Why I chose this poem because I love the way that the grandma can see her husband in her granddaughter. Jacqueline says every dying person leaves something behind, I love this statement because every dying person does leave something behind we may not notice it but our loved ones can. Like in this poem the grandma can see her husband all over again when Jacqueline plays with her friends. Jacqueline says to her grandmother "I remember his laugh" "because you laugh just like him Two peas in a pod you were" said her grandmother. This reminds me of my pawpaw I see my pawpaw's face every time I look at my uncle. I see my pawpaw's eyes every time I look at my dad. I get told I have the joy of my pawpaw.
