We are fortunate to have come together
In this, our brief day of life upon earth;
You, upon whom the sun now rises,
And I, upon whom it sets.
We meet as two travelers passing,
Both on a path of their own;
Your path, widening with promise.
Mine strewn with unfulfilled dreams.
My genetic code lives within you;
Please excuse the abnormal strands,
And make the best of what you've been given.
Reach for the stars ... I'll see you back home.

- Comment from author about the poem: This one, I wrote a while back, was recalled by Fred's poem of yesterday about "unfulfilled dreams". It is appropriate in light of a brand new granddaughter born last Thursday, on my birthday no less!

A wisdom-packed bundle of truths in this tribute to a precious newly-born family member - this I am sure will be treasured as your granddaughter grows my friend - a heartfelt gem which goes into my faves.
