Ashtin and Houston Spend a Day Off From School With Mawmaw
At 11 am I pulled into their drive
Ashtin and Houston ran out of the door
Screaming and laughing, ready to ride
Going with me wherever we please
First to the bank, for a little cash
Our next step meeting Rodney
Their wonderful dad, my loving son
Shoney's for lunch, still more to come
We headed down the interstate
We sang Tim McGraw songs
We laughed and told jokes
Science Adventure Center, here we come
So much to do, they started to run
Up, down around, again to the top
Houston climbed in to the huge plastic heart
Ashtin kept up, then we lost sight
She went to the left and I went to the right
Houston we found was nowhere in sight
He finally came by with a big wide grin
He said, I found Cooper, one of my friends
So they played and they played
Then we went to the gift shop
Then Mawmaw sat down to watch
The went back and played
Houston won laser tag
They watched as a mirror
Made their faces start to age
They played a piano with their toes
My Tuesday was perfect
God blessed me that day
My grandchildren and I went to play
We stopped at a church, with pumpkins to buy
They were grown by the Navajo
We found six to carve in shapes that we like
Next we went to our favorite store
Dollar General is where we can get good buys
The last stop was Sonic, to get some good food
They played on the playground
Waiting for the roller-skating girl
To deliver the order, then we rode away
We drove in their driveway
Stuff everywhere
Ashtin said, we are so glad
You like to spend time with us
This has been the best day ever
I say sweet girl you said that before
The last time we went and had fun galore
God gave me memories
Worth more than anything
I know I would never change anything
I pray God will bless me again just the same
That Tuesday was a special day!
