The Dream at 95
Bouncing out of bed full of vim and vigor
The great grand-kids are coming, the day’s gonna shimmer
Gotta fill the kiddie pool and prepare some lunch
They’ll be wanting my cooking, I’ve got a hunch
Can’t wait till they get here, it’s gonna be fun
I have a tea party with Jill and a game of catch with Joe
Video game battles with Bill and a bike race with Bo
I’ll be wearing a tiara with great pride and joy
My thick fingers clumsy on the dainty toy
I’ll be surprised and impressed at how good Joe throws
I’ll try to keep up, but we all know how fast Bo goes
I’ll boot up the nintendo with nary a delay
Gaming awkwardly, Bill teaching me the way
They jump up to grab me in a tight, family embrace
Warm, messy kisses all over my face
I give them each a turn, swinging round and round
We’re all so dizzy now, we lie on the ground
Laughing and giggling, they’re climbing on me
I’m so glad they’ve come, my favorite day has just begun
