For this week's Saturday Rhymers theme: Leaving Home.

 

When I go back and stay at my Dad’s place,

It’s great, but it’s no longer home.

 

I struggle to get my own kids off to sleep

In the room that I once called my own.

 

They watch cartoons, just as I did

Two sofas, three tellys ago.

 

So much is the same, yet so much has changed,

Though I try hard to not let it show.

 

Grandad plays lego and trains with the kids

I love it that they have such fun

 

And after their bedtime we sit and drink wine

And sometimes we talk about Mum.
