I had to escape from all the events of late.

The riots, the protests, the anger and hate.

So dismayed by all the terrible news to face.

Another world I sought, some childlike place.

 

A world that’s seen through children’s eyes.

A world of fun and laughter and sunny skies.

So today, my 2 Granddaughters I went to see.

From their window, they loudly laughed at me!

 

I pretended I was lost…I wandered to and fro.

I acted like I didn’t know which direction to go.

Was it left or right, I couldn’t make up my mind.

I acted confused as their house I couldn’t find!

 

‘Over here…over here’!! I could hear them say.

Laughing and screaming from the window bay!

Into their little innocent world, I now felt a part.

That’s why I love Alba and Nola with all my heart!

 

Today, in the colour teal, Alba painted my nails.

I sang daft songs and I made up some silly tales.

Like magic, treats appeared from an empty hat.

6 Freddo’s and milky bar buttons, things like that!

 

Alba gleefully wore 2 glittery Tiara’s on her head.

‘Alba… you look like a gorgeous Princess’ I said.

Nola happily build a house from magnetic blocks.

Alba showed me her wardrobe full of girly frocks!

 

From today’s visit, I don’t have much more to tell.

Because Alba had chicken pox and felt a bit unwell.

Get well soon Alba, and thank you both for today.

In your lovely innocent world, I would love to stay!
