FAMILY TREE

The little boy looked hard at the faded
photographs,
snapped and framed behind plastic for all
to see,
and he wondered why there were people he
did not know;
his grandfather paused a moment from his
busy day,
laying to the side all those things that for most
became the rituals of living and loving .
He remembered anecdotes to many moments
framed
inside his wife's treasure windows, as he
called them.
He told of parties, and fishing trips and
the one that got away.
He told of dear friends who would never again
come over
to pass the time of day.
The little boy, eyes bright and shining, saw his
grandfather
no older than he standing proud as someone
close captured
a moment to treasure with a wagon and a brother;
He would never know them but they were part
of a tree that grew;
the one with wide open branches that spread
a welcome to him,
and he fancied an old pine tree or solid oak;
his family would last forever .
