Hanging With the Grands
Eleven years ago tonight,
Our son and his new bride
Exchanged their vows to start their life
Together, side by side.
Today, they’re off to celebrate,
A mini-trip away
So with our grandkids (8 & 6)
We have the chance to stay.
It isn’t like the days gone by
When nanas merely cooked.
In modern days we Uber them
To every place they’re booked.
Today was soccer, tennis and
A trip to pick up glasses.
Tomorrow will be Hebrew school
And thus, the weekend passes.
This time is like a yummy cake -
The grands, of course, the frosting.
It’s totally delicious but
It’s totally exhausting.
