day twenty five

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary come home

Sweetly and tenderly
Benjamin is calling

Calling his grandparents
Come home

coming soon to arms near you

Gramma and Grampa

before you pack up
In a jar, if you can
please bring some sunshine
to pour in my hand

to put on my head
and let it trickle down
squirm through my toes
melt into the ground

it would be lovely
it would be fun
to have in a jar
just a wee bit of sun

to keep and to hold
through the wind and the snow
keep my hands snug
and my cheeks all aglow

if sunshine you can't get
you can't put in a mug
then I'll take the next best
a bright joyful hug.

Love
Benjamin

day twenty three

Gramma and Grampa,










We're counting down the days!!!
We're thinking about supper with you!!!
We're ignoring the thought you may be jet lagged!!!
We won't acknowledge the yawns and looks at the watch!!!
We will hug you and hug you and let you kiss us lots and lots!!!
We will sit and listen to stories and adventures!!!
We will hear about what God is doing in Cambodia!!!
We will hear about what God is doing in your lives!!!
We will think about what you share with us!!!
We won't leave you until we have to!!!
We will be there to see you when you come home!!!
We won't be thinking about anything else except you!!!
We're getting pretty excited!!!
We're thinking about seeing you soon!!!
We're counting down the days!!!

Love love love
Benjamin
