Between Homes

That was fun
Those unexpected coffees in the sun
Some belly laughs while you were on the run

This was fine
A gift of time
An in between moment became mine

This was ours
Planting seeds and flowers
Watching telly after hours 

That was good
Laughing at stupid jokes
Because we could 

You were home
Meals on the sofa
Not chats on the phone

You were here 
Upstairs working
Where I could hear

You, loud and clear
With me near
Trying not to interfere

A new trio was born
And I'll attempt 
Not to be forlorn

Rather, to thank 
My lucky stars
For this shared time of ours.
