Grandpa Varon wrote this poem for Molli and Zoe

Molli and Zoe

Half a world away...
they play their simple games
oblivious to all the complex transactions
being undertaken on their behalf.

Half a world away...
they go about their daily routines
without an inkling of the
excitement and emotions they are creating

Half a world away...
they continue to absorb their limited surroundings
unaware that they are about to be
transported into a new, different, larger life...
...half a world away.
