A Gift From Grandpa
(A Tale in 160 Characters)
Softness wrapped in weathered skin
That takes the strain and holds you tight
Whilst dreams would pass from man to boy
He cradles your love and rocks you good night

Beautiful, Pete. There is something so magical in the continuum of life, love and spirit that lives within a family. Very sweet picture, too.
My grandfather passed away over a decade ago. I often wonder what new bits of wisdom he would have passed on to me had he made it another decade. I love this 160!
Thank you.
