And Love Goes On
by Laryalee Fraser (Age: 68)
copyright 06-05-2002


Age Rating: 4 to 127

 

His footprints now are firm and deep
from long-limbed strides across his day.
Yet in those prints I see the shape
of toddler's feet in eager play.

His hands are skilled, and on the wall
now hangs an engineer's degree.
But in those hands I still see swirls
of pat-a-cake and claps of glee.

He walks beside his own small child;
they play their games, sing off-key songs.
Thus life continues, hand-in-hand,
and love still fits where it belongs.

I really can't fault this beautiful poem dedicated to two generations of the Fraser clan. I always hestitate to give a rating of 10 for, as the Italians say, *Nessuno e perfetto*. However, in this case I would have felt stingy had I not given it the highest rating.

That the poem means such a lot to you is probably why the muse directed you to write such meaningful and evocative words and fashion them into a poem of beauty and love.

Thanks for sharing it with us!

this is filled with so much beauty and love..life found in generations of children, who in their turn become parents and so on down the line.

Thank you all so much for these heartwarming comments!
This poem means a lot to me, and if anyone happens to drop back again, here is a link to a photo of my son and granddaughter for whom it was written!

Lary I enjoyed this poem very much. I think all moms must feel nostaglic as their babies grow up.

Now look what you've done... excuse me, I suddenly feel the urge to go hug my son.
