My Grandfather, the wisest man I ever knew!
Once told me;" take care of your feet; and they will take care of you!
Never saw him argue with my grandmother's view,
I believe he lived to the far side of ninety two!
Though he spoke little; he pointed out something as I talked,
Women's knees; in front of us, rubbed together as she walked.
To be serious though; he told me a story I never forgot!
In later years it helped me with my spirituality; a lot!
As he sped in his truck around a corner outside of town!
Saw a box in the middle of the road. and heard a voice say;" go around".
Went around! heeding the insistent voice, truck kicking up rocks!
In his rear view mirror; saw a little boy crawl out the box!
So; listen to your grandfather, and the;" still small voice"!
You might discover your life; has a great deal more choice!

In fact something exceptional.

It seems that you have inherited some of your Grandfathers wiseness .. ok I know that aint a real word but its a darn decent neologism :)
