Such a Treat

Our grandson had a party
To attend near where we live,
So a place to stay with Uber rides
Was what we had to give.

At 12 years old, Bar Mitzvahs beckon;
He’s a busy guy.
It’s hard to understand how fast
The years are zipping by.

Yet it was such a treat for us
To have him come to stay,
For even just the shortest time
With him can make our day.

To see the city through his eyes,
The place his dad was raised,
Is the part of nana-ing that leaves me
Happy and amazed.
