Grandfather

My Younger Son's thoughts about his Grandfather ...

to Whom it may concern


hands,
mustache,
barrel laugh and
brown leather.

hands.

breeze of pine,
splash of sun,
sip of A&W's Finest Root Beer.

hands.

...to Whom it may concern:
I don't care what else I forget,
what else becomes misty and gray
and falls away forever.

Just --
let me remember

mustache,
smile,

hands.
