Hosting T-Day
When the guests all arrive
And the food tastes okay
And the grown-ups watch football
While kids get to play…
It’s a magical day,
Calm replacing all stress
Though the clean-up awaits
And the kitchen’s a mess.
Still, such feelings of warmth
Cling to every pore
And as minutes tick by
I wish there could be more.
But we hug our goodbyes
And we load up the sink.
All that prep and excitement
Dissolved in a blink.
