Empty Nest
I can't wait to have that empty nest
that peace and quiet
days of rest
texts and emails can tell
that everyone is doing well
I can sit in the garden and text you back
enjoy the quiet
ice tea and a book
I'd have the dog all to myself
maybe I'll get another him a companion
I'll enjoy the order
a little less dust
time to myself
daydreamings a must
I will think a whole thought without interruption
make love any time of day
in every room
without fear of discovery
(that could be the best part)
we'll be like teenagers all over the house
when, again, are you all getting out?
