It was a special treat
When Bà came to town
We wanted to show her around
But her plan wasn’t quite sound
For she missed both the trail of lights
And the sweet-smelling pumpkin patch
But she still did pretty well
And we think she’s just swell
To gobble down a Thanksgiving feast
And engage in many things
That other grandmas may not care about
Like drinking a prosecco with Mama
Hanging out with Dada and the two of us
While Mama was with Malinda
Reading us stories from her iPad
(We loved the one with Dragon who was stuck
So we made her read it about forty times)
Snuggling up on the family bed for a movie night
Picking us up even though her knee was tight
Helping us put ornaments on the Christmas tree
Laughing with us when we start squealing with glee
Watching us perform our daily activities
Praising us and letting us know we’re her cup of tea
Going to a movie with us and cheering for family
Making bath bombs with Mama when the time was right
Sleeping with us when Dada had to work overnight
We were sad when it was time to say goodbye
But we know she’ll be back
A not too distant day
We shall wait
