CYCLING WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER

OUT CYCLING ONE DAY WITH MY

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GRANDDAUGHTER,

CAROLYN,

I GOT A  LITTLE WISTFUL. 

"IN TEN YEARS," I SAID,

"YOU'LL WANT TO BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

AND YOU WON'T GO WALKING,

BIKING, AND SWIMMING WITH ME

LIKE YOU DO NOW." 

CAROLYN SHRUGGED. 

"IN TEN YEARS YOU'LL BE TOO OLD

TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS ANYWAY."
