This is a poem I wrote on June 20, 2011. It's a poem from the point of view of a parent at the beginning of their children's summer vacation off from school. I wrote this at a time when my kids were several years younger. Now that two of them are teenagers and one is a pre-teen, summer vacation isn't quite so bad since they're much more capable of entertaining themselves.
The kids are home for the summer
Sadly, it's not a dream
It's time to adjust to a new routine
Sometimes, that can feel like a bummer
I have to keep the kids busy
Or else I'll hear, "I'm bored"
I can only hope the weather won't pour
If it does, they will drive me so crazy
