Generations

a soft gentle touch
feels the warm pulse of guidance
of a calloused hand

Raul, i have been fortunate to have been graced with this four times, and i now feel that moment reading your sentimental Senyru, this should be going into all the favs of the parents, and all who want to be parents. It's certainly going into mine >> James
