HOME SWEET HOME:
It's lovely to go on holiday,
For a week or two.
To go to a different coast
To sit and admire the views.
To take one's children walking
To get some excercise.
So they won't become lazy,
I think is very wise.
But as the days go by,
There's little things you miss.
The chimming of the hall clock,
And over the craggy mountains the mist.
The cheery greeting of the mailman,
As he delivers the daily mail.
Saying"How's you doing Yvonne?
"Hope everything is well"
I miss the comfy settee,
That we all squeeze on.
When we watch TV.
Or perhaps a sing song.
It's nice to go away,
Just for a week or two.
But it's home sweet home for me,
Is it the same for you?

I do miss the comforts of home. And my cat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane for the visit, When I had my cat and was just widowed I used to take the cat with me to our caravan in the country.

I have never gone on a holiday for a week or two, but boy do I want to! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think with that super book you have written you need one. Good luck.

I always need a vacation after my vacation.
ReplyDeleteMany people say that Alex why? what sort of holidays do you take?
DeleteThanks for coming by.

I love being home after being away. It's so comforting to sleep again on my own pillow and look out my windows and see the backyard and all the birds and wildlife.
ReplyDeleteI still miss my wildlife from my old apartment. But here we're on "Cat Row".
DeleteThanks for the visit and comment Susan.
Coming back into the embrace of our lovely home is priceless.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you , Many thanks for visiting and comment,

Yes. We must go away for a time just so we can truly appreciate where we live.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good way of putting it Lee.
DeleteThanks for the comment.
Yvonne.
I like to go away, but there is no place like home.
ReplyDeleteSame here Susan though I am still getting used to where I am.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.

A vacation is a real booster. One week away can wash away the blues for the rest of the months. Not had one for sometime now though!
