Hope

Our children are having children and suddenly our home is overflowing with the noises and lovely chaos that only small infants can create.  The above is a 15 minute sketch of my first grandchild, a boy.  

I hope. 

I hope you have your great-great-grandfather's heart. He symbolizes kindness. 

I hope you have your great-grandfather's hands.  He is a builder, a creator. 

I hope you have your grandfather's eyes. He looks to the fields, sky and dreams. 

I hope you have your father's faith. He thinks he is invincible. 

And as time passes, you will fall deeply in love and you will have a child.  Give to him or her only the best of us.
