Home from the Hospital

Gingerly changing into soft clothes

And sliding into pressed cotton sheets

Tweaking my pillow just right

With dusk filtering through the shades

Pulling up a favorite figured quilt

Enjoying the fan’s breeze wafting by

Listening to familiar safe sounds

As soup simmers for later

Rubbing my feet over the velvety blue blanket

Finally taking a deep breath of thankfulness

For yet another trip home.
