 When you call to say you're coming home, my heart goes straight into rapid mode, I think of the things I need to do before you turn in the drive from the road. I dust, vacuum, wash dishes; I light scented candles and put fresh coffee on, I bathe and shave, smooth on lotion, admire, in the mirror, the silkies I don. I dash on blush and fix my hair, put a log on the fire and a roast in the oven, I draw a hot bubble bath for you, pull down the sheets, ready for lovin'. When I hear the air brakes on the truck I get all tingly and can't stop the smile, jump in your arms when you open the door, so happy you'll be home for awhile.  |

thanks Susan and Paul When living in a truck for 2 or 3 weeks at a time and being home only 2 days in between, it gets to feelin' like home is just a place where you sleep and eat and shower, like a hotel that you visited before. I try my best to make him feel like he belongs here, not just as a guest. |

Dixie, You know ... sometimes I just can't express what I feel. This is one of those times. I have been holding this poem close since I read it yesterday. I love it. xoxoxo A |

You have done a wonderful job, dear Dixie, both at home and in poetry. This is a "feel-good-read", it is stimulating, it is warm and it sounds very real. Brava! The picture symbolizes the perfect anticipation of putting the feet upon familiar ground. Love, Margherita  |
