Ashtin and Houston Spend a Day Off From School With Mawmaw

At 11 am I pulled into their drive Ashtin and Houston ran out of the door Screaming and laughing, ready to ride Going with me wherever we please First to the bank, for a little cash Our next step meeting Rodney Their wonderful dad, my loving son Shoney's for lunch, still more to come We headed down the interstate We sang Tim McGraw songs We laughed and told jokes Science Adventure Center, here we come So much to do, they started to run Up, down around, again to the top Houston climbed in to the huge plastic heart Ashtin kept up, then we lost sight She went to the left and I went to the right Houston we found was nowhere in sight He finally came by with a big wide grin He said, I found Cooper, one of my friends So they played and they played Then we went to the gift shop Then Mawmaw sat down to watch The went back and played Houston won laser tag They watched as a mirror Made their faces start to age They played a piano with their toes My Tuesday was perfect God blessed me that day My grandchildren and I went to play We stopped at a church, with pumpkins to buy They were grown by the Navajo We found six to carve in shapes that we like Next we went to our favorite store Dollar General is where we can get good buys The last stop was Sonic, to get some good food They played on the playground Waiting for the roller-skating girl To deliver the order, then we rode away We drove in their driveway Stuff everywhere Ashtin said, we are so glad You like to spend time with us This has been the best day ever I say sweet girl you said that before The last time we went and had fun galore God gave me memories Worth more than anything I know I would never change anything I pray God will bless me again just the same That Tuesday was a special day!
