There is no place like home.
- L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Many days as my mind thinks about what needs to be done
and where I (and the family) need to be,
my mind searches for what time I will be home.
The sun isn't up yet
and I am already thinking about getting home.
I am already thinking about getting home
ReplyDeletebefore I even step foot out the door,
a little more push is all I need to believe
that this sanctuary will be the same when I return
weighed down by stories and poems and worries
left bundled by the shoes on the floor for tomorrow
morning's journey.

Your beautiful response made me teary. So moving. Thank you, Kevin.
DeleteThis reflects your deep connection to home. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteShort writing that is filled with deep thoughts. Words don't always have to be written to send a message.
ReplyDeleteHome is so elemental - it's always a place you know you love.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful thought captured in an early morning moment. I hope your day went fast and you got home soon.
ReplyDeleteIt must be that time of year. I started yesterday saying how tired I was. Today I "reprimanded" myself. I got a great night's sleep. But I still counted the "events" until I could return home. The weekend's almost here - hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI love how you kind of put a blanket over the day, covering your family's travel, contemplating when all would return, ah-h, back home.
