Coming Home (IV)

Your favorite places

My favorite memories

Regrets of lives spent apart

Separated by time zones

And more

United by genes

And much more

(Love)

Getting to know you

Learning your rhythms

And getting into step with the family.

We collapse to the floor in laughter

Or snuggle up close in a quiet moment

Then come to the table

Filled with a bounty that promises

A long time together.

As I sit,

Surrounded by those I love,

I know

I am home.
