Meeting Granny

His hand on her hand
A tribute to life
Though neither one knew
The significance
Of the touch
She needed him
That day
And he needed her
Everyday
Just to be.
Wrinkles and young
Skin
Toothless grins
All around
The gap of five generations
Closed
That day
His hand in her hand
A tribute to
Life!
