Coming up the street,
coming home,
after a long day,
after a wrong day,
not every day –
but today – yes ....
"No, everything
went wrong, nothing
went right." I was cut
by a nasty comment,
not recognized,
not listened to,
not acknowledged,
just ignored once more,
once again. ,
needing a hug, a hello,
a "Welcome home!"
[Silence!]
"Thank you!"
“Now, just sit down for 15 minutes.”
“Hi Dad!”
“I had a bad day at school today.”
“Come here and tell me about it.”
[Voice from the kitchen:]
“Supper will be ready in 20 minutes.”
a "Welcome home!"
[Silence!]
"Thank you!"
“Now, just sit down for 15 minutes.”
“Hi Dad!”
“I had a bad day at school today.”
“Come here and tell me about it.”
[Voice from the kitchen:]
“Supper will be ready in 20 minutes.”
