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.
