Four Weeks Too Long If You Ask Me

He threw himself into my arms
The second he landed in my driveway.
He will be five this week but he wanted up too.
I snatched him up.
He is my darling  grandson, Max.
We had not seen each other for six weeks.
About four weeks too long….

They are gone in seconds, driving cars and dating.

I figured he had forgotten who I was. Wrong!
