Renewal

I do not know
How the birth of a little baby
A thousand miles away
Makes the world
Seem to stop
And start all over –
And I don’t care,
Because I’m too busy
Feeling young.

 

Reminder

 The reason we come into

    This mortal life
      So innocent and pure
         Is so we can serve as
           A reminder
             Of what we all
                Should be striving
                  To become.

Grandpa Russell Frei and Spencer
