Herbert Nehrlich - A Freckle Remembered

Herbert Nehrlich - A Freckle Remembered

A freckle on my Grandpa's nose, br was prominent, but I suppose br it did not bother him in life. br Though Grandma, who had been his wife br for fifty years in splendic health br she took the freckle with his wealth. br br One day, their son, a smart physician br had come to go, with Grandpa, fishing. br He glanced upon his father's nose br where still the freckle thing arose. br And gave his learned diagnosis br 'A Seborrheic Keratosis.' br br No need was seen for intervention br and they decided not to mention br the stigma in my Grandpa's face. br Well, life went on, its hurried pace br eventually caught up with him, br at first his vision went to dim br and then, while telling a good joke br he suffered a tremendous stroke. br br He wore his suit, with silken vest br went off to take his final rest. br I watched as our pastor prayed br and how the giant oak tree swayed. br Then Grandma handed him a rose br as I was staring at his nose.
