Thank you so much for stopping by, my friend. This was an inspiration from the Monday morning blues as he left for work this morning,

I enjoyed your poem for what it was, a sign of a good marriage that has a future and a strong past. It speaks volumes of the care and friendship you have that solidifies a love relationship to become something more. It's good to see people who have good relationships, and better when a writer can express them.

I enjoyed this quick poem. It brought me right in and made me a part of her long day. The homecoming ending was just right.

A lovely free verse. Does your husband work 12 hour days? That's a long time! I agree, too early...anything before 9 AM is too early for me! Enjoyed this, blessings...

Thank you for stopping by to read and review. Dave doesn't work 12 hour days, but its a 10 hour shift with lunch and a commute on each end. Its a long day, and I do my best to make him feel welcome when he gets home,

Yes, same here. My husband's truly 'the King' when he's home!

Well, it's quite obvious based on what I've just read here that you love, adore, and admire your husband very much, Patty.
I'm sure he'll be tickled pink once he gets the opportunity to read your fine free verse ode to him.
Hey, always remember...it takes a real man to wear pink, LOL...
Take care,
~Dean :-)))

Hi Patty,

I loved your free verse of a tribute to your hubby. Just enough scattered rhyme as to not be considered free verse. I am sure many here will relate to your first stanza with the alarm going of too early. Nice job here. God bless

This is a beautiful free verse poem about a day away from your loved one.
The feelings you have jumped from the page and the warmth when he gets home is evident.
Have a lovely evening

Well done, nice experimenting, (don't worry I do photos of when I was younger! I looked better! Heh heh!) a feller likes to think his wife feels secure in his arms and protective loving, caring. Beautifully written free verse, communicating your feelings in articulate, decriptive language, blessings, Roy

Hi Patty, this is a nice free verse on the busyness of the day and then coming back home to one another. A nice picture of you and your husband.

They do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder friend, it seams for you that can be but a few hours, he's a lucky man! Nice free verse with a scattering of rhyme.
