high over the rocky mountains
we think of him
and four generations singing 
because he is our father
grandfather
and great grandfather

  2. I always think of these patriarchs, crowned with wisdom and stories and strong hands... how lovely to celebrate living bonds and ancestors' fates through the touchstone of four generations, your father!

  3. What Lily says about strong hands is so true, not all men have this gift.
    It's very beautiful . I also see the sadness in your eyes.

  4. We are from south of the mason Dixon line, east of the Mississippi Ivan, and I was singing a " tear jerker" as they call them... Sad, sad, song for poignant times...
