Week with the Grandsons


Week with the Grandsons

Bundled in their blankets in the basement half asleep,
Watching cartoons quietly they hardly make a peep,
Grandpa, Grandma upstairs making breakfast just like bees;
Soon the house will bustle with the day’s activities.

Grandpa goes to work as Grandma fixes all the beds,
Boys are getting dressed right now then Grandma combs their heads,
Off to pool or park to play to blow off all the steam,
Grandma keeps her schedule tight as coach for any team.

Each night the family’s reunited for the evening fun,
This week they all have VBS so off to church they run,
To learn how God takes care of us; how Jesus loves us all,
And, home again; get P.J.’s on as in to bed they fall.

The week has flown so quickly boys are back in parents care,
They chatter ‘bout all they have done as they went here and there,
And, Grandpa, Grandma sit upon the quiet porch and miss,
The constant joy they had this week, and smile and reminisce.
