Dear Granny
Not sure where you are
but I am positive I know
who you are with
Grandpa that is
again
somewhere sailing
deep at sea
in the far far east
and like when you were here
I've ridden many waves
some with expert ease
and some so towering
I almost crashed myself
upon the rocks
but Granny
I am really writing
because
there was one thing
you once said
that now has hit the mark
sometimes there's no hurry
just float and see
life through many lenses
at all different angles
before you launch
plain word and verse
though over time
profound and most treasured
signed
Your Loving Grandson and Fellow Sojourner
