Humanity is a continuum, a progression of life, from one generation to the other through a bond called family.

A little patch of green
All rows well tended
My father of ninety five years

Slowly shuffles to attend
To the drooping need
Of a plant here and a flower there
His calloused hands
Veins prominent
Wrist not as strong as used to be
Hoes the soil letting it breathe
