While You'Ve Been Gone...
while you've been gone
I've been so sick
a virus a cold the flu, URI,
who knows but sick enough
to be home three days
fever cough running nose
buckets of tissues and very little sleep
today I dragged myself up and had a shower
ripped the sheets off and soaked them
the clean ones brought me to
went outside in the sun for a while
(forgot it was July, I was feeling like January)
the dog so happy I was up and around
he is not happy when Mama's down and out
you'll be home in a few hours
at least our room doesn't smell sick now
and you can rest
although
my sore nose, no makeup, tissue box and all
I'm sure you'll have a nice welcome home
on your mind.
I can't wait to see you.
I'll let you do the talking
when I talk, I cough, so its all on you.....
