Grandparents’
Day
We go to
Grandparents’ Day,
Cherishing each
event,
Marking it down
as a deed well done.
At Grandparents’
Day
The pupils walk
in their school uniforms
From the school
to the church—
Disciplined,
innocent, loved.
In church we sit
with our grandson.
His other
grandparents are with us.
We love the
mass,
The homily
pitched to the fifth graders,
But filling the
grandparents’ hearts.
It is a homily
about God’s love, and
How we in our
lives are called to reflect
Love.
After the mass,
Doughnuts and
sugar-free pound cake,
Tempt us all.
