Going Home

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

I said to my friend,

"See her leaning over his arm?

Yesterday she leaned over my arm."

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will lean over mine."

And I said,

"See her sitting at his side;

And yesterday she sat at my side."

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will sit at mine."

And I said,

"Dont you see her drinking from his cup?

And yesterday she sipped from mine."

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will drink from mine."

And I said,

"Look how she glances at him with eyes full of love!"

And with just such love, yesterday she glanced at me."

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will glance at me likewise."

And I said,

"Listen to her whispering songs of love in his ears.

And yesterday she whispered the same songs in mine."

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will whisper them in mine."

And I said,

"Look at her embracing him: and yesterday she embraced me."

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will lie in my arms."

And I said,

"What a strange women she is!"

And he said:

"She is Life."

Kahlil Gibran

Life takes you in many directions. The feeling of home has been a back and forth motion, however we now know were we need to be. We are headed home...so I am calling all troops, trailers and trucks. We will be home on August 1st. We are very excited and cannot wait, I would leave today if I could. Noodle made the comment this morning as he was helping me make my bed that he just cant sleep in his own bed here (trust me I have the dark bags to prove this). Once we get home he promises to sleep in his own bed. Thank goodness....kid snores! Morgan is looking forward to his old room with new XMas lights and posters. Mom.....come home now!
