In the middle of her climb
up the tree of life
Meg was frustrated to suddenly realize
more living was needed
to reach her full vantage point
(140)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gramps barely tolerates the child
He remains quite miffed
about the love affair
between his grandbaby and that
low life scoundrel,
Speed Racer

haha gramps has the look...and you got to watch out for those boys with a need for speed...
I love it "more living was needed to reach her full vantage point". There is so much truth in that statement!
You are on fire!!!!!! Love them both and needed that laugh this morning. :O)
Sometimes the climb is only half of it.
That first one is wonderful...and so true! Excellent MM.
I like your take on gramps. We grandparents sometimes wish we could protect our grandchildren more than is possible! Even when grandkids get big, they are still our grandbabies.
You are soooo good at this!
Still trying to reach that vantage point myself.
Loved 'em both. Speed Racer is such a scamp.
