Honey, I'M Home

"Honey, I'm home. I'd hear him call, Opening wide the big front door. Near or far, I'd run to him. Eagerly greeting the one I adore. "You're a bit early or a bit late." I had faithfully watched the time. My heart over-flowed when he called "I''m Home from the daily grind." Once more I'd welcome those words of his. "My love, I'm home can I have a kiss?" Each and every day those words I miss. January 29, 2014

Your poem is filled with love. That you miss him so is very obvious. Beautifully written.

This one makes some of us realize how much we take for granted these simple words. Thank you dear Joyce, for reminding me, to never overlook the gift of companionship and love. Lovely poem. :)

Dear Joyce - Oh my heart is with you. It's the sound of the keys on the counter for me, the daily life. I just read a beautiful poem by Carolyn Devonshire dedicated to you about your grandaughter, Joycie. I'm so sorry. She sounded like a fighter and a joy. love, Kathy
