Five decades of learning
best ways to make mistakes
and prefect means to explain them.
Take that knowledge
using kid living inside
to explain the wisdom with a smirk
unto my grandson,
might be too late for my son,
but maybe with a smile
his son might even do better!

Good luck in the contest brother.

At times missing a generation may have it's benefits. It's a beautiful sentiment though, to help and watch your grandson grow into a man with your influence. Lovely thought. Von
