Ageless

His heart was full of love

He acted like a clown

Playing peek-a-boo, and counting piggies

Cured the baby’s frown

His teenager barged in with friends

Laughing up a storm

He yelled to take it down a notch

Wipe feet and shut the door

Before they went into her room he yelled

“Hey, where’s my kisses?”

His daughter came and pecked his cheek

And then came home the Mrs.

She told him all about her day

Her triumphs and frustration

They spoke as being equals

In advice and consolation

His father came to visit

And he offered up his chair

Providing every comfort

To his honored wise forebear

And so we see in every case

His persona did change

But in a heart so brim with love

His essence stayed the same
