Happy Holidays, Ed and Shirley |
Up It is one of a dozen words she has learned before her second year, "up" she says with the sign of two arms stretched into the gathering in that I the occasional grand-pa have been entrusted "up", she says with an urgency of wanting to be held "up" to see a world below from a high branch in an ancient tree "up" to spark a love that would defend against all manner of monster "up" to remind me what a simple holding creates the bond on which we rest, the hands that will not let us fall. |
