What will it mean
when I hold my first grandchild?
Will I finally be able to accept I am no longer young,
That my time to be an adult is overdue?
Will I reject the feelings of age, rebelling against societies (or my own)
expectations of what a GRANDPA must necessarily be?
Will I simply quit, for a moment at least, living in my head
and finally enjoy the simple pleasure of holding a new baby?
