There was magic in all his grandpa’s stories…they were filled with wonder and surprise…he could feel the magic in his grandpa’s words and see the magic in his eyes.
His grandpa found magic everywhere he looked…in the birds, the butterflies…the bees,
in the stars, the moon, the sun…in the flowers and the trees.
As they lay in his backyard one day…the grass still damp with morning dew…
his grandpa said, “Did you know…there’s magic in clouds too?”
“Watch the clouds above us…as across the sky they flow…
Watch and you will see…they put on a magic show.”
His fondest memories of his grandpa…the times that make him feel most proud…
are the moment they spent together watching the magic in the clouds.
Still today when he sees clouds spreading across a sky of blue…
he’s reminded of those times with his grandpa…in the grass painted with morning dew.
The other morning, on the beach, far away from the crush of crowds…
he and his wife witnessed that magic…when they saw dolphins in the clouds.
An entire pod of dolphins smiling as they leaped out of the sea…
for a moment, a brief moment, flying high…and flying free.
His wife pointed to the sky and said, “Do you realize what we’re looking at?”
He smiled, then nodded saying, “I bet Grandpa had a hand in that!”
