Priorities

Went to a craft fair;
Didn't buy a thing,
But marveled at the gorgeous objects
Vendors got to bring.

Jewelry and fabrics,
Pottery and wood.
I'd have purchased something
But the timing wasn't good...

For across the street awaited
In the playground with my son
And my husband, little Henry,
In the swing and having fun.

I was pulled in two directions,
Toward a purchase or a smile
And I left there empty-handed,
Which is not my normal style.

Yet I got the best of both worlds - 
Saw the crafts and got my grin
Pushing Henry in the swing,
The best position to be in.

It's amazing how priorities
Can simply up and change
But with grandkids in the picture,
Guess it isn't all that strange.
