Grandfathers
sit
with their grandsons
and listen to them
tell their little stories
of where they have been
or what they have done
it is the biggest story
the grandsons can tell
the most important thing
in their small world
stories begin in grandpa's laps
where closeness
and love are shared
a bond then is
forever joined
by what is felt between
laps
and hearts
an attraction
and a familial connection between
the sweetness of youth
and the wisdom of age
natural to
all grandfathers who have laps
and all grandsons
who sit in them.
