                        Can it be that
                        long, those happy birds nests. Magic
                        times forever past 
                        Lifetime cameos written in memory. Time
                        not a factor they will last 
                        Golden interludes, helping Grandsons
                        tangled line 
                        Fumbling fingers unsuccessful . Blind
                        leading blind 
                        Wry expressions, smirks in order. Sudden
                        giggles not amiss  
                        Until a hook in the finger. What it is to
                        reminisce  
                        Episodes I thought timeless, now I must
                        face the fact 
                        Mind still active as before.Body no
                        longer can react 
                        But the joy is still with me. Life has a
                        way to reimburse  
                        We still enjoy those cameos. Just the
                        players roles reversed |
