Threads of Silver, Rays of Gold

 A Narrative Poetry

The trickling down of the days,

The years did fade.

The more work he did,

The confine he lived.

The one question he avoided,

The unanswered, lingered.

 

But the curiosity of a mother

Sails beyond all borders.

"Oh, my boy,

When shall you be hitched that I may be a grandmother?"

 

"When the time is right, mother.

The daughter of my union shall be your granddaughter.

As sure as the hair of my head fades.

What fate shall I hold to be a grandmother?

The same fate that made you, my dear mother.

It shall be to you a lovely grandmother."

 

"Oh, my dear boy,

Graceful are your words

To fill a mother's void."

 

The trickling down of the days,

The years did fade.

Now, by grace, in the arms of his dear mother,

The two daughters at once from his eventful union,

Made his dear mother into a lovely, happy grandmother.
