Time On Screen
Make it easy on yourself
And they won’t think you’re mean.
Let the grandkids, home from school,
Indulge in time on screen.
In their younger days, they’d love
To cuddle up and read
Or play or build or run around -
We’d gladly fill that need.
But now they’re old enough to want
To research or compete
By using tablets or a Switch
To make their day complete.
Like other grown-ups in their lives,
Allow them, quite excited,
To slip into their worlds on screen,
To which we’re not invited.
