This house was once a teaming, screaming,
Rowdy
loud menagerie.
Sometimes
it seemed a thousand feet were
Pounding
floor from dawn to dusk.
At
times my own voice cracked as I related
My
displeasure with
The
maddening annoyance
Singing,
ringing in my ear.
Praying
for a moment, just one
Minutes
peace to calm my nerves.
Wondering
if it would have been
Wiser
to be celibate.
Settling
disputes with the diplomacy of
Solomon.
Finding commonality to
Wash
away all doubt and fear.
Now
there's such a peaceful calm
Surrounding
every moment that
I
feel as though my life is truly blessed.
And
yet at times I find myself reflecting
On
the sweetness of the life we knew
Before
our empty nest.
