Happy Weekend Begins With - -

HAPPY WEEKEND BEGINS WITH. . . . 

Getting a seat on the metro at five
Drinking hot tea at home  - coming alive
Playing my guitar and humming a tune
Rocking this tiny baby in my arms  - asleep soon
With my kids building lego
Or telling them stories of times long ago
Sensing the soft weight of the cat on my knee
Purring and pushing his paws into me
Hearing my wife’s unexpected laughter
Seeing her happy at dinner and smiling long after
Cuddling up with her on this stormy night
The rain lashing and windows closed tight.
