Alexander Herbert

Grandpa

A Grandpa hobbles around wrinkled like clothes left in a dryer
into a proud father working long hours to support his family of six
into a young man back from the war all his friends dead
into a naive adolescent just enjoying life
into a young boy with scraped knees and bruised elbows
into a baby so innocent and unknowing of the world ahead
