Oh! I am home

The door swings shut, I sigh, close my eyes, and drop my bag

This, after 10 hours of a day that was a drag

Up long before the sun

With one thousand things to be done

One hour trip to get into the office

There is no time to show softness

My workday is highly stressful

At the end of the day, I feel as if I wrestled

Then one hour more before I can find this comfort

At the end of the day, I feel as if I wrestled

Then one hour more before I can find this comfort

To get into the walls of home I make every effort

So here I stand quickly slipping off my shoe

Just before my right toe turned blue

My couch looks and feels just like a cloud

One of the objects in my home of which I am proud

I lay here just listening to some slow jazz

Rubbing out the tightness in my calves

My eyes closed as I press the remote to cool my space

I sink deliciously into the couch’s embrace

My last thoughts as I stretched and curled

No place like home, the best place in the world
