Not this Time

they swarm into our home like bees seeking daisies, lilies, roses, and such we throw sugary treats at them allow them to commandeer the TVs and the computers Their parents roll their eyes For we were never this way with “them” We did not have to be We were not their grandparents The grandchildren want to live with us They want to move in They think we are better than their parents Because we can spoil them completely for a few hours Some want to spend the night We have to say “not this time” Because when they leave we are exhausted and have to take a long nap because our energy is completely gone which is why God gives babies to young people
