The Visit

lillian

House ready
spit-shine clean
bathrooms gleam
mirrors spotless
fridge full
door bell rings
and here we go!

Door slams shut
rugs askew
table strewn
bread crust strips
on juicy sticky countertops
legos here and there
quiet echoes everywhere.

      The visits are always wonderful! And then, I do take a breath, leave all the havoc, and enjoy the silence for awhile 🙂 I think that’s called getting older 🙂
      So nice to see you here today!
