Someday

Someday,
I’d like to hear tinkling piano melodies
Or the strum and pick of a guitar
And find somebody waiting for me
As I open the front door
 
Someday,
I’d like to feel a pair of arms
Wrap around my knees
With an “I love you, Mommy!”
To welcome me
 
Someday,
I’d like to smell roast in the crockpot
And a warm loaf in the breadmaker
Ready to share with my family
When I get home from work
 
Someday,
I’d like to see content faces
Look up and smile back at me
When I walk into my house
And yell, ”I’m home!”
 
Someday,
I’d like to taste the sweetness
Of a welcome-home kiss
From my lover’s lips,
My husband hugging me every night
 
Someday,
I’d like all of that
Now,
Is that really SO MUCH to ask for?
