Day One

Such a lot of things I'd do, The books I'd read The shows I'd see! I'd sip long galleries Of half-forgotten pleasures. He went to school, the youngest, Not big enough to tie his shoes, School case in his chubby grip, Smiling, eager, new...I sit and Silence creeps about uncluttered rooms.

As a mother of five, I can relate to your lovely rhyme, Elizabeth. You can't concentrate on anything until your little one comes home. Your rhyme brought back many memories to me. Thank you. Shirley

You nailed it, Elizabeth. Reality strikes; a direct hit too. Lonely 'til he returns from school... :) gw
