THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE COMING

Our grandchildren are always a joyous, welcomed sight

And today their coming over and they’re going to spend the night!

 

As we await their visit Deborah and I always feel inspired.

We have so many activities planned we’re already kind of tired. 

 

Normally with the two of us our house is calm and muted 

But when the grandchildren crash through our doors it cannot be disputed.

 

It’s like miraculously in that instant our house turns itself ‘on’

And the effects of their sleepover linger long after they have gone.

 

It makes me wonder as I sit here if I will find the time

Amidst the wonderful chaos, to complete my daily rhyme.

 

But I will do my best to finish before they all appear

 

Wait, is that them knocking...gotta go, they’re already here.
