Resemblance
the years between both
couldn’t suppress the joy
with equal wits and whims
they knew one another
from the first glimpse
this click of recognition
laced a natural mirth
and lasting mental nutrition
the infant savored grandpa’s lifts
and senior in turn was trilled
by the mere presence
of this toddler on his rigid lap
a tiny fist in a large hand
a solid bond of genes
with similar smiles and visions
two hearts bouncing
in joyful repetitions
