Forge a bond
Dip it in molten steel
Reinforce it
It’ll be easier to feel
Forge a bond
There’ll be sacrifice
Some easy, some not
But then, you won’t need to roll the dice
Forge a bond
It’ll need time
But it’s significance
Surpasses that of a dime

Poetic lines. Bonds are very important.
Is the poem talking about relationships?

Yes, but not necessarily romantic ones. The ones I speak of in this poem are familial relationships.

From the fire of the forge
my grandfather
on his anvil
with heavy hammers
became my childlike
awareness forged
the fire in me has remained
but slowly
the steel catches in me
to run out
to bend
I have for the fogging
than as for a horse’s hooves
paid nothing myself
the heavy breath
my grandfather
you weakness of old age
has me the memory
awakened to him
