ELLIE #7

Today you opened your eyes and looked

At me, listening attentively to my

Chinese, as if saying: grandpa, what

Is that? I continued. You continued.

It is a good start, for you and I, skipping

One generation, hoping to give you

What I learned from my mistakes, hoping

To learn from your pure heart, what it

Is to be human with emotions. I look

Forward to the next time we meet, face to

Face, eye to eye, heart to heart.
