Waiting for the Show

Our grandson’s in a show today - 
We are his greatest fans -
So being in the audience 
Is foremost in our plans.

The theater hosts some famous stars
So it will be a thrill
For Henry to be on that stage;
He’s tense, but knows the drill.

We’ll sit and watch and burst with pride.
(In Yiddish, that’s to kvell.)
Our grandson brings us so much joy -
As if you couldn’t tell!

I'm sure it was a day to remember. I'm also sure he was elated to you there. Nicely rhymed and informative. I can relate to seeing my little ones on stage. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
