Home

Written; May 16th, 2014



Appreciate your home extra hard for me today.
Don't make your bed just roll around in it.
Have a movie marathon in the living room.
Read on your front steps.
Shower comfortably. 
Put your clothes away.
 Hang them up in your closet.
Hang lots and lots of pictures.
Lay down on the carpet for no reason but to relax. 
Walk around in your socks.
Make dinner. 
Have desert.
Sit on your counter tops.
Do a cross word at the dinner table.
Run around just for the hell of it. 
Sleep in a bed of your own and don't get up until you feel like it.
Do all of this for me while I can't. 
Do it and love your home with its pile of dishes and dust bunnys. 
With carpet stains and dirty bathrooms. 
With soft couches and messy closets. 
With privacy and no check out times. 
With toys and socks under everything. 
With your little gardens and dusty outdoor chairs. 
Love your home for being the place to go to at the end of the day.
 Love it hard for me today, please.
