At 17 and 88
He leans in; can’t hardly hear
No matter; the great-grands dear
The G-G-son responsive to speak
The G-G-pop an antique
Antiques are worth so much
It is good to stay in touch
One’s plans are far behind him
The other’s just touching the rim
The G-G-son responsive to speak
The G-G-pop an antique
Close, still, yet far away, and yet
Life’s quite riveting, you bet
One generation must clutch the torch
It is handed off; a path to forge
Somehow we live in one another
With who we are in astute color
The G-G-son responsive to speak
The G-G-pop an antique
