We sat around the table
Drinking our coffee,
Chatting,
Looking at photos’
When our daughter spotted one.
She said to our Granddaughter,
“Is that at the French Restaurant,
The one in Birmingham,
That you went to last week?”
Our Granddaughter said,
“Oh no,
That’s the one in Paris”.
My wife and I looked on
Astounded,
She had said it as though
Popping out to a restaurant in Paris
Was an everyday happening.
How small the world is,
From when WE were young.
