OF THE PAST AND THE FUTURE





To onlookers an old woman holding a baby boy appears like an everyday occurrence. But looking closely the picture does say a lot! What is the old woman thinking about? She is looking so keenly at the young boy who is oblivious to all that is happening.  The grey hair and the wrinkled skin do bear witness to the period that the woman has spent on earth. This is a big contrast to the young boy’s skin that is still tender and soft.

The woman looks proudly at the child and loudly says, “I thank God I have lived to see and interact with 3 generations of my direct family”; of course she is holding her great grandson!
