Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

An Act of Love

This week’s a school vacation
And my grandkids are away,
Yet Hadley, 8.5 years old,
Connects with us each day.

They’re in a different time zone
So she FaceTimes when she wakes
And converses from the bathroom
For her sleeping parents’ sakes.

She fills us in on things she’s done
And places they have seen.
It’s wonderful to see her face,
All smiles, on my phone’s screen.

Her brother doesn’t care to talk
Unless it’s face to face,
But Hadley reaching out’s
An act of love we can embrace.

Andrea Dietrich February 22, 2024 at 1:43 PM yes, it's often the girls and not the grandsons who reach out. Women rule the world, but mostly behind men, and it's sad that's the way it is. She sounds like a real sweetie.
