My Family's Away - Why Do I Moan

   No highlights today
   My family's away
     I miss them more than I can say

   So, why do I moan ...
   When they are home 
     ~ I've no time for a poem

This poem is very charming. Tell them to stay away another hour, and write another.

Enjoy the quietness of it all you will interact soon when they come back. Inside youreally miss them and they are your life and mean so much that is why you feel that way because you always protect them but when they are not within your protection you feel uneasy. You a a caring soul Gershon...
