Faces written with contentment and both are fast asleep two hands touching
Tiny child sprawls haphazardly upon Grandmother's lap Grandfather studies...
The aged, time lined face, knurled fingers resting on perfection
Those arms which held him once also held his mother in tender care
She who held his children close holds this little one with no less love
Past and future brought together on his Grandmother's lap... a new generation
Time Eternal views for but a moment in disconcerted gaze ...but smiles.

...dedicated to my Grandmother, whose heart is greater than 5 generations, and to my Granddaughter, whose heart shall guide the future.
