an impossible dream

time improbably reversing

a mother’s love rekindles

Mary holding our grand babe in wonderment

filling my eyes with tears

like an impossible dream

the years melting away

in my precious wife’s expression

the love shining in her eyes

reviving a vision of her holding

our own babes to her heart
