The Home-Coming

As I enter my home
After a long day of work
My kids come running to me in glee
After the hugs and kisses
I see the couch inviting me

Then I see
Floor littered with toys and crayons
Clothes lying all around
Piled up dishes in the sink
All staring back at me

Thus I get to work
Cleaning, sweeping, mopping
Dinner and dishes
Along with the kids homework in between

The couch now long forgotten
In bed I lie
As sleep invades me

How do you unwind after a demanding day?
