Eternal Youth



Arros, he yells once he knows we're in the house
And from behind the rusty kitchen cabin
Jumps out a child encased in a elderly body
His royal laughter roars rambunctiously
Causing a chain reaction
Moving towards me with his huge arms open
Like jolly jiggly tube of jelly
Always on the move
No naps for him 'cause he's not three
Mischief money maker
From casino to casino
He's always VIP
In the prime of life
A go with the flow Joe Fantastic Sam
Sharp stud shark
Sails the forceful sea
Patient as can be
A one and only original
Super human abuelo
He's a flash-forward of what I want to be
