Paul and Julie

They are here until Monday.
Good people, very comfortable in our home.
Values not far from our own,
They have done a great job with our grandkids.

Anne has found her parents very supportive,
While Evan, seems to be pushing his limits
Well past my initial estimates.
In short two healthy young adults.

With both children living away from home,
Neither finished with their education,
We no longer expect family visits,
But having the 50 year olds wakes our routine.

Paul, about 6 feet tall, seems to have grown.
The alternative explanation is his 79-year-old father
May have shrunk.
I’ll go with the former.

It is not inevitable that a widening world
Will be the burden of the youngest.
Chances are my 2001 Avalon

Will need replacement very soon.
