On the Birth of a First Great-Grandson

In nature,

life goes on, finds a way,

out with the old,

in with the new, heh?

And humanity, the same, goes on,

perpetuating itself, advancing

mankind, life and time more

perfect, finer, fitter, evolving

as nature demands, and so

the generations pass, out with the old,

and the new — sons and grandsons,

great-grandsons and daughters —

replaces us, the aging, wise, imperfect

humanity. A new future begins now

again, a future left in good hands, building

on us and our fathers and grandfathers,

the greats before them, becoming us,

the sons and grandsons, the great-

grandsons born, becoming you,

humanity finding its way, going on.
