A Visit
The grandkids paid a visit
On the day of Christmas Eve.
The city’s fairly empty then,
On holiday reprieve.
We double-parked at daddy’s work;
They saw his office space
And then we drove to where we live,
Our New York City place.
We got a spot – a miracle!
In front of our front door
Then spent some time inside
Which they were dying to explore.
Some games, some lunch and then a walk,
The river quite a hit
And then the playground, which for them
Was just a perfect fit.
Hot cocoa back at Nana’s
And a bit more time to play
Before we headed suburb-bound
To end this lovely day.
We brought them home to mom and dad
Like cupcakes freshly frosted,
Then turned back to Manhattan
Feeling happy but exhausted!
