Nightscapes Part 2

At twenty past I'm home at last, 
the brass plate spells my name; 
come inside! 
familiar and gratifying, 
slippers by my bed still lying, 
dressing gown and cap are crying, 
here abide! 
The sheets are turned and ready. 
I leave the night and take a final bow, 

grateful for the here and now.

Keith, a great way to summoned the final bow. I think I would have ended it in guilt, but that's me... enjoyed. LINDA

As a matter of fact in retrospect I think I am feeling some guilt too! Tanks SO much!!! Keith
