The Grandson

All eyes
and a looking back over the shoulder
as he steps, for the first time,
into the tug and pull
and surprisingly unfeminine wriggle
of a trout stream.
With mommy back at camp
and daddy unable to make it
the boy is hesitant
in this his grandpa's world
where instruction waits,
at any age,
latent.

Smiling. Thank you. And, flyfishing with the grandchildren can never not go well, though it can be exhausting. Chuckling.

I'm sure they have a good instructor..and hopefully will grow to love the sport, and the time it gives them with you.
