A
friend reminiscences about her grandfather
And
the memories are the same
That
my daughter has of my late father
Piggy
banks, secret treats, stories of once upon a time
Time
the smooth operator
Parents
become grandparents and memory
Friends,
siblings, cousins
Now
all aunties and uncles, mom and dads
we lose people to death and to life
and we gain a few along the same ride
Age
keeps ticking like a silent clock
We
are all in a circle
Called
life.
