Album



Going through
Boxes and boxes
Family snapshots.
Each child a wrinkled
Pink bundle in
Hospital nursery.
School at home
And playgrounds
Where Dad got involved.
Mom mastering
Their daily needs.


Now all grown.
Daughter.
Pictures a housewife
Who does HR at
One of Waterloo’s finest.
Great empathetic counseling.
And organizarion.


And Son flies the big jets
Worldwide.
Facebook images show
Elephants in India
Lakeside bistro in Geneva
Tour Eiffel
Big Ben clock Tower.
South African game park.
Greek Isles, all in turquoise.


And Mom and Dad, geezers
Traveling
Snapping  pictures, whenever.
Thrilled with first grand baby
Elizabeth Rosemary of Montreal.
And oh is she photogenic!


Blessings to be poured over
In photos.
