Grandchildren

A ring on the doorbell, a bang on the door They both rush past me, coats on the floor! “Hi-ya Granddad” and “Nanny” they shout The books and the toys now have to come out. The T.V goes on and some music to gel They start to argue and things don’t go well So Nanny starts baking and Carys is there After only five minutes the biscuit tins bare! But Will stays with Granddad, just kicking a ball He’s really growing he’s getting quite tall We all stop for tea now, some quiet at last The cake’s really lovely, we’ve all had a blast! Can we sleep here tonight Nan? –“You know we’ll be good” “We’re not really naughty just misunderstood!” So to keep everyone happy we both agree But, in your own beds mind and not in with me! So in your pyjamas and off up to bed The love of our lives now let it be said We reflect on our day with much love and much joy We love you so much, our girl and our boy!
