Circle

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.
