Summer Vacation
To all children
They came to visit in July as we had planned.
The younger aged six, the other a Parelli fan,
Started most days by playing with a black kitten
While I prepared good breakfast in the kitchen.
They stayed nine days mostly joyful with a few little cries.
We shopped for bread, pastry, a bathing suit and Crocodiles.
Today with their grandpa they returned home.
Sudden sadness fills me as I am left alone.
Maybe tomorrow I'll receive some news
To tell me all is well and chase away my blues.
