SWELL TOM HOME SWEET HOME

Hey Tom, you look well cared for and well fed, Sure you longed to sleep in your own bed, You must've had pain, hope they spoiled you, More medication, preferred a whiskey or two, Which nurse did you like best, which one a dread.

Hi Jennifer, after reading about Tom's spinal surgery not so long ago, it's good to hear that he's at home now. As I recall, he was taken good care of, by the nurses and his family. Such a wonderful tribute to him. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Week. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Jennifer, a swell poem for Tom…… There’s nothing like coming back to one's home - Not matter how good was the care been shown - One's own bed and family - One cannot help but agree - Is the place to be for recovery.…… Belle
