I went away on holiday My husband stayed behind We did not have enough to pay Also three children we must mind While away I thought of home And all the things I'm missing Everyday I'd telephone And warn of hugging, kissing Three weeks away is a long time I could not wait to return Although I needed my down time To be back home I burned At last, the day drew nearer The train was travelling back I could see much clearer The hugs and kisses which I lacked The family was all waiting With hugs and tears all round, husband anticipating The joy when homeward bound We waited past those nighttime elves So we could show our love We smiled gently between ourselves And thanked the Lord above Oh how I have missed you all Must have swelled my husband's head But I was not talking to him at all I was talking, to pillows and bed.

You are right, you did say it in the title; but I still fell into it and then the ending lines....love it!!! Great poem Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |
