For all the mamas

In honor of Mother's Day. I wrote this when the twinkies turned one.

Who Says You Can’t Go Home?

I do

If home is:

Staying out til 2 a.m. partying
And sleeping til noon

Enjoying a carefree dinner
And a movie

Jetting off to a beach with friends
And drinking sangria every night

Being able to save money
For that big-screen TV

Telling your friend
You’ll be right over

Being alone, really alone
With no one to worry about but yourself

Who wants to go home?

I don’t

If home is:

Not waking up at 2 a.m. to hold you
And napping at noon

Not seeing that first step
And getting that first kiss

Not being “stuck” at home
Drinking juice with you

Not watching your face light up
Over a new toy, or book

Having no one
Who needs you at home

Being alone, really alone
With no one to worry about but yourself
