“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is the triumph over old age.” Thomas Bailey Aldrich
To Be Grand Will I be buried with the symbols of my life - golden shoes, anointed with rich mead and scattered jewels; will they prepare my altar and sweep my grave removing all the joss dust I might have accumulated? Will they set fire to my bones so that I might find the glory of that which comes after life and list me among all the souls? Will they celebrate my ways of stumbled parenting? I hope they toast the grandness of my second round. Copyright 2023 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️
