Coming home in the rain
To my home again
My kids, my wife.
The heart of my life
I feel each drop’s a kiss
Not given those who miss
The warmth of folks,
Familiar jokes…
I’m living again.
You see the leaves that fall in autumn –
Each one’s a dream that’s died
Of love, achievement, each a post mortem...
The vet could not have been more sympathetic
The kidney failure being quite advanced
The food ingested would become emetic...
