GRANDPARENTS
Grandparents bestow upon their grandchildren
The strength and wisdom that time
And experience have given them.
Grandchildren bless their Grandparents
With a youthful vitality and innocence
That help them stay young at heart forever.
Together they create a chain of love
Linking the past with the future.
The chain may lengthen,
But it will never part...

Swinging
I sit on my porch
On my swing
I go back and forth
Listening to the low, mournful creaks
I feel the swaying
Back and forth
I hear the moans from the weight
Of chain on anchor
Back and forth
It feels, sounds like an old lover
On an old lover
Back and forth
I sit on my porch
On my swing
I can hear my grandparents
On a summer night
