In the morning when hubby and kids leave me alone
Some of my day is spent on the computer or phone
Some of it I spend cleaning--I'm in the zone!
But my heart aches
I pick up the toys my daughter left behind
Already wish we could put the morning on rewind
I wonder what other treasures my daughter left me to find
But my heart misses you
Maybe I've had coffee with a friend
But that will come to an end
I can't wait to come home to you and tend
Because my heart knows it's almost time!
And then you all come rushing through the door!
I ask you how your day was. Sit and tell me I implore!
And hug you all and love you to your core!
Because my heart is happy!

Thanks orchidee!
Thanks CHRIS ~ The GOOD BOOK says "God put the lonely in FAMILIES" and He has given you a lovely Family ~ so I can understand the loneliness when they are out at Work & School. At least they all come home every night ! Blessings & Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@
Thanks Brian for the encouragement! I appreciate the positive feedback. Sisterly hugs-CHristina
Beautiful write showing how wonderful you and your family show each other love.
Thank you so much GF! I do miss them but at least they come home to me! Appreciate the read and the feedback!
A beautiful write of a beautiful family Christina! It reminds me of the good old days. Now they're all grown up in different parts of the world with their own families to raise. And the circle of life continues!
Oh boy! I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts. Thanks for the read and the wonderful reply. Also appreciate the favorite save! Have a great day!
Yes, enjoy every moment! They grow up so fast! When they were little, I wondered what they would be like as adults! Well, now I know! They are fine young people...but I do miss when the time they were young...especially from 0-3years old! That was the best...for me!
Where the poem ends your day begins I like that ... a very personal poem with a little insight to your day , very nice !
Thanks so much WL! Always appreciate your support and your kind review! 🙂
This was so beautiful. This woman loves her family. So nice to start my day with this. Thank you.
Thanks SM! My day starts like this and ends with them. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the read and such a beautiful compliment!!
love is a beautiful thing
I agree! Thanks for the visit and the reply!
Beautiful, tender poem, Christina. I agree with Laura, enjoy the kids as long as you can. Now I have to fly five hours to go and see them and the house is kind of empty with only the two of us. But there is happiness too in just enjoying each other.
Oh yes, I know the day will come. Thanks for the read and your kind words! Loved the reply, thanks!
If I could do it again I'd home school them. Wonderful writing, maybe you should get a dog to walk and train 😉
Good idea but we're allergic. 🙁 I really appreciate your read and reply! Writing poetry helps me too. 🙂
