Stories and Games, Artistry and Rhyme

Time: 2:01
There is nothing more rewarding than when we see our children and grandchildren embrace cherished family traditions.  Often they are the events and customs of our most endearing holidays.  But, what I really love, is creating new traditions, big or small, forever weaving more colorful threads into the beautiful fabric of our way of life.  Whether at home, on vacation, or during a fun filled calendar of seasonal events and festivals in the regions where we live.  There is nothing quite like the excitement that comes with having something special to look forward to and experience.  For this poem I have endeavored to express the wonderful times when my beloved granddaughter, visits our home for a long and glorious weekend, filled with traditions, old and new.  Stories, games, colorful art, sunshine, tasty meals, outdoor activities, and gardens are all the things we experience and do.  Beginning with the ringing of our very own
Liberty Bell.  And what a feeling for me, as Papa, when I see her beaming smile, enjoying every single moment of her days with us.  As sure as the sun will always rise, so will the life, love, learning, and laughter rooted in our family’s creative heritage and rich traditions.

Description

On February 9th, 2022 I was diagnosed with throat cancer, five months after retiring from a career in business and education. On March 30th, I began seven weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. Afterwards, as I started to recover, I thought about my future. What would be my final chapter? I decided to embark on a new journey. One that would be the culmination of all that I have lived, learned, and love. Something I never dreamed of doing before my illness. I decided to write and publish my own poetry. I am a grandfather and now a self-proclaimed Cancer Thriver. I am Papa.
