Presidents' Day Visit
Braved the cold and took a shot –
Left a perfect parking spot –
Just to get a little taste
Of one we’ve lovingly embraced.
An afternoon of pure delight
With Henry* – cute and oh, so bright –
Was worth the venture and the drive
For he’s the greatest kid alive!
I am his nana – can’t you tell?
On Gramps and me, he’s cast a spell.
We’re drawn to him like moths to flame
Since on our hearts, he’s staked a claim.
Of course, this visit had a plus
For also, rather close to us
Are Henry’s mom and dad (our son)
And seeing them was also fun.
*17 months old today!
