safely home

After a week abroad in Costa Rica
My beloved
aka PAPA to the blessings
is home...

Arriving late in the night..
long after the sun had set..
and dinners were eaten
dishes cleared
and children nestled in beds

He arrived.
and not a soul was sleeping...
every body leaped and bounded
down down came the pitter pattering of feet
big and small
leaping upon him...

but they all had to wait,
because there was one he wanted first
the one who came first
the one who helped bring the others to be..
yes he gently brushed aside every one else and came
first to me..
sweeping ME into his arms
embracing me
and showering me with kisses..
only when he was done,
and had smiled into My eyes
until contented,
did he set me down and let himself be swallowed by the blessings
and tackled
and tickled
and talked at rates matching the speed of light
only then were gifts opened
and prayers of thanks giving said..
and
yes...
one more prayer..
Buddy needed bed time prayers said ...
just one more time :)
so glad...
so thankful
Papa is home..
my beloved,
my man
is safely home.....
