Sweet Reminders
©2016 Susan Noyes Anderson
Of late, I have been much away from home,
not of my own design but others' need.
The mind finds compensation as I roam:
appreciation for the life I lead.
A place and partner of my own are mine,
grounded in years and happy memories...
A cozy nook for solitary time,
dream-space to loose creative energies...
A yard with wise old trees that I adore
and bushes that have laid their roots down deep.
They rarely ask for water any more,
yet bloom in lasting beauty, ours to keep.
Too easy are these gifts to take in stride,
counting their goodness as my daily due.
Once home, the scent of jasmine wafts inside,
and every blessing greets my heart anew.

Oh Sue, your words fill in empty spaces of my heart. Thank you!
Don't know what's taken you from home, but I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy fall. And it's me, Jen, not Lily.
There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home. Hope you can be there more and any problems that are keeping you away are solved quickly. This year is flying by and taking time to be thankful for our blessings..like home...is always on my mind this time of year. Love the poem.
Welcome home. This is beautiful.
I know how it feels to be back home again. I love that feeling. You always touch my heart in someway! Hugs😊💕

How delightful this is, Sue. There is a wonderful feeling of cosy domesticity and appreciation and gratitude in this poem, with what many people take for granted.
This is a lovely poem - I can tell you count yourself blessed :) May it always be so!
