Grandfather with Grandson
They skip a generation--clan
features like green-blue eyes
and how they see the day ahead--
dark and narrow, or wide and bright--
and a long tilted jaw preferring
few words, and their slow sauntering
way of speaking. Neither can hear
how like the other he sounds
as they walk down the path
to the school. And their hands--
the same hold on love.

Isn't that the truth:) Only observers would notice the similarities. Not to get "scientific" about such a beautiful poem, but biology never ceases to amaze me!!
Just lovely.
