Unswept floor
Dishes in the sink
Rumpled beds
Mountains of laundry
Crooked rugs
Crayon on the walls
Toothpaste on the bedspread
One shoe lost
Trash can overflowing
Crumbs on the table
Reminders of…
Forty little toes
Laughter during lunch
Snuggles under covers
Teachable moments
Long conversations
Relaxing in his arms
Memories being made
Sloppy wet kisses
Winks across the room
Holding grubby hands

Home, the spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.
