Grandson

You and I sitting on the couch just now
listening to your song
about Henry - grandson

I am watching you
wrap your heart around
what Henry means for you - grandfather

A tough concept for Peter Pan

You are smiling as you listen
and just like that
wizened, gray, and worry
magically transform
into innocence

And just like that
I remember
that what we really need
and want
is this.
