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.
