When I was young
I kept walking to live long
After meals
Along the lake
Holding grandpa’s hands
Feeling the calluses and wrinkles
Again and again
Listening to old stories
Of loved ones
Lived together
Happily ever after
When I grew up
I kept walking
For grandpa to live long
Long enough to see me
With the one I love
And
Live
Together
Happily
Ever
After
