My trio of grandsons,
Six eyes, shades of blue, hazel and grey
Three bodies-
One dark-haired, thin, long limbed,
One muscular, tall, light haired
One tiny, fair, with translucent skin
Constant noiseFootfalls, slow and fast,
Stomps, leaps, jumps, light and heavy
Calls for paper and markers, bee keeper items cut from cardboard,
Paper and pencil to solve ciphers in mystery books,
Games of Spiderman Uno and Junior Scrabble,
Voices creating
Fantasy, wizards, potions, spells, complex rules, protective shields,
Ever-present battle plans and weaponry-
Storm trooper guns, nerf guns, light sabers (red, blue and green)
Ninja stars, swords, costumes
Spotify playing the Darth Vader playlist and Kung Fu Fighting on repeat
Singing, dancing, swinging, punching (fake and real)
Stuffies (dogs, eagles, owls) in the mix
Building with Legos and Magna Tiles
Reading books

I will miss it all,
Especially this trio.
