A Moment In The Heart Of A Grandfather

For NOF



My grandson
noised my night

yet through his tempest
and upon his perfect head

I laid my love and hopes


Hopes that I
can lift this child

to heights
way above my station

and guide unhurriedly
and watch with slowing breath

as my son's son
tames the world



My eyes will crust
my gait will slow

but I will see and dance

as the boy in the cradle
then the man in his castle

makes his Grandfather proud.

Love is like a mess of jewellry, some of it paste, some of it priceless but all of it glorious.
