A Change of Plans

My son and family’s flight was one

Of many not to fly.

Instead they found a place to drive 

And thus avoid the sky -

An indoor water park not far

From where we have a place,

So very soon I’ll get to see

Each grandkid’s smiling face.

We had the driveway paved of snow

And shopped for food and snacks.

There will be nothing now that 

This vacation really lacks.

A change of plans may disappoint 

But sometimes, as they say,

A silver lining may appear

To brighten up the day.
