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.
