Homer's Diner

Homer’s Diner Retirement closes afternoon eyes; Dreamlike pictures of old desires arrive; Transporting the willing consciousness To a heaven’s far away hoped diner Where old friends arrive one by one As they leave old earth behind and find A place where pie and coffee flourish Hugs and back pats abound; No talk of mean and harsh politics, Only arguments of the best flavor of pancakes, Where laughter and smiles are always around; At Homer’s Heaven’s Diner.

I like the line, only arguments over the best flavored pancakes. This poem brings the reader straight to the diner ! :)

It's a real place in my father's lifetime dream never realized. He sacrificed it for his family, but I like to think about him having it now. Thank you for responding.

It was always my father's unrealized dream. I like to think of him as having it fulfilled now.
