Calm Bomb

We thought the morning would be calm ~
Till daughter deployed the grandkid bomb.

The youngest makes a Wookiee noise,
And other sounds enjoyed by boys.

Greta's playing the matching game;
The floor: uncluttered before she came.

The oldest bikes through the garage;
Both it and he will soon need triage.

One's running, screaming, wants her "wadi",
And spending time on the potty.

But, midst the chaos and the mess,
I must admit that I'm pretty blessed.

must admit... lovely... peace is so funny. It can be gained in the quiet or the storm, equally as long as the heart and soul... are at peace. God bless you. This was a great write. Ann

You are blessed, indeed. The young-uns in my family are great-grand-kids!
