granddaughterbliss............

me doest think
it was w.c.fields who once quipp'd
never follow a child on the stage
cos you'll always bomb & be a flop
their unintentional humor is ten times better than scripted comedy
carissa being a young dazzling damsel at 7 weeks
me being a fossilized greyhaired antique at 60+

eye have had my dazling daze
with the sun&moon&stars
with the wind&rain&clouds
eye have crawled&jumped&flown&crashed
been a pirate/poet/klown/koyote/koward&hero
time to hand over the torch to another generation
to light up the sky

it is good when you can experience your grownup children(erica&carson)
having their children
being part of that third generation
braggin' rights of having three grandchildren..........blayke&marcus&carissa
life doesn't get any better than this
then you can feel what your grandparents felt
love'swarmth heating up a worshipping heart
a worsippingheart fogging up teary eyes

&the night was made for poets & drunks & madmen
& grandfathers who have much more to zay then they have ever zaid
grey&gregarious..............lopsided&loquacious
as eye'm with the woman of my dreams
as she sleeps with the man in her dreams
both of us never very far away
from our wideawake&sleeping thoughts

if the midnight owls don't give a hoot neither do eye
see you on the flipside
where this aging tired skinned man hides a child living inside of him
that carissa can communicate with
& can keep young till its time to go
