Grinning ear to ear
eyes sparkling and full of giddiness
they practically burst
my anticipation builds
the secret dangles lightly in front of me
with joyful eruption
the news tumbles out in excited sputters and squeals.
" We finally got a place"
they sit back with gleeful expressions
taking delight in my reaction
I am stunned, unable to form words
so instead we cheer together
celebrating with hugs and laughter
I stand thrilled listening to new found discoveries, watching their faces light up
buying soap and shampoo for their very own shower
having somewhere to call " home" instead of "campsite"
