Family Picture

There they are forever watching me, guiding me, even as my day chugs along. They’re always there giving me their smiles; reassuring me that there’s a purpose, there’s a reason that I come here each day. I come here for them, not to get away from them, no, quite the opposite, but to give them everything I possibly can, to give them a home, to give them comfort and warmth that in turn gives me smiles. But, why do I feel bad when not in their presence? Because, I’m not there, I am here. So, again, I look to my desk, see their loving faces and I smile knowing I soon will leave here and find my way back home to them,
