Today... <br />All my babies left the nest! <br />That's right... <br />All three have gone now... <br />What I notice most <br />Right now... <br />Is the...quiet... <br />There is no little voice <br />Right now <br />Asking for an apple <br />Or to have the channel changed <br />Or if he can paint <br />Or help me garden <br />Or come with me to do errands <br />Or any multitude of other things <br />That seem important to him <br />At the time... <br />There is no laughter <br />No giggles... <br />No snuggles! <br />No..'me and my buddy time'... <br />It's gone! <br />Gone, gone, gone! ! ! <br />Now...solitude settles in... <br />Now...I can hear echos in this house <br />Now...I have 'me' time <br />(Whoop dee doo! !) <br />It's actually...kind of...lonely here... <br />For now... <br />Until he comes home <br />From Junior Kindergarten <br />At 11: 00... <br />And bubbles with excitement <br />About his day! <br />I don't mind them leaving the nest... <br />Just as long <br />As they remember... <br />Where the nest is... <br />When it's time to come home! ! <br /> <br />Dee Daffodil (HW) 14 September,2007<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-so-quiet-here/
