The warmth
of the
lone light
left illuminating
our entryway
welcomes me home
from a weekend
away.
The silence
of a
sleeping house,
reassures me that
all was well
in my
absence.
The serenity
of two
sweaty heads
swathed in a
blue-white glow
of night lights
fills this
mother’s heart
with
vast and varied
emotions.
“There’s nothing half so pleasant as coming home again.”
~Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
