An Act of Love

This week’s a school vacation
And my grandkids are away,
Yet Hadley, 8.5 years old,
Connects with us each day.

They’re in a different time zone
So she FaceTimes when she wakes
And converses from the bathroom
For her sleeping parents’ sakes.

She fills us in on things she’s done
And places they have seen.
It’s wonderful to see her face,
All smiles, on my phone’s screen.

Her brother doesn’t care to talk
Unless it’s face to face,
But Hadley reaching out’s
An act of love we can embrace.
