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.
