Sluggish movements reel in
Abbreviated sentences cast brief visuals
Akin to a fish latching on to the hanging worm
Young minds are hooked to thrilling stories
Sitting on a rickety chair
An elderly man overlooks four kids circling around
Gray, brown, blonde, black, and red hair sway in the suddle breeze
The smell of flowers creates a pleasing aroma
Joyful smiles shine in the midday sun
Parables flow from the man's mouth
Words flow into the kids' ears like musical notes
Simplistic phrases with deep meanings etch into their malleable minds
Sparkling eyes admire the frail role model in front of them
Years after a sorrowful passing
The four impressionable kids have become successful adults
Taking in the life lessons given on those summer days
Each has passed on his good will through their many actions
An elderly man smiles down from above
