an impossible dream
For the Love in 50 Words challenge
time improbably reversing
a mother’s love rekindles
Mary holding our grand babe in wonderment
filling my eyes with tears
like an impossible dream
the years melting away
in my precious wife’s expression
the love shining in her eyes
reviving a vision of her holding
our own babes to her heart

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Awww, your photos and poem are so sweet! Loved them so much!
Preciously beautiful, John. Life tends to repeat itself or as you so poetically put it, “time improbably reversing.” It’s so wonderful when we’re able to rekindle an emotion from many decades ago. Exceptional work, John.
When you are living the good life good things like above occur. Good job.
'the years melting away' It takes years of living to fully understand this line... I understand.
Simple and beautiful! ☺
Aww this is so lovely ❤️❤️❤️
This is beautiful, and so heartwarming. Well done.
Beautifully captures the timeless bond of love across generations, evoking deep emotion and nostalgia.
So beautiful, John! Babies give us so much love.
This is so sweet. The whole thing feels super warm, like it’s a moment frozen in time. It’s so beautiful and real.

So, so beautiful, John!! Love across the years, eloquently reflected upon - one of my favorites I've seen for the challenge. :)
This is just beautiful, sir. Given both our loves of diving into the darkest recesses of being human, I still marvel that we can produce such vividly beautiful work.I hope this is included in the winner's list, because the picture is lovely and the sheer joy on both bairn and Mary's faces is fully evident. Can see why you took inspiration and in such a eloquent and heartfelt manner. Well done, sir!
