A Shout Out To Grandparents
Benefit of Age
Like children we lay in the grass,
our faces warmed by the sun,
in wonder gazing at the clouds
seeing fairy tales one by one.
We see a myriad of animals
scuttling across the blue,
our minds reverted to childhood
as years melt like dew.
Reaching out hands to little teachers
lying close by
who spirit-guide us to truths
that are hidden in the sky.
