Sorry !

Sorry !

Sorry I was just a bum
Not much smiling, not much fun

Sometimes the work I do just gets me down
It makes me sad, it makes me frown

I try hard not to let it show
Even though I hide it, you still know

As the years go by you know me more
Know me better than before

I wish that I could stay at home
Not have to travel or talk to you on the phone

Perhaps in time as the years go by
I can travel less, won’t have to fly

Stay at home in our personal space
Every day see your smiling face

Until then I’ll grin and bear it
Work hard each day to make it worth it

Won’t be long till I’m home all day
Perhaps by then you’ll want me out of the way

At least I’ll be home each night !!

Hey, thaks for the comment, sorry for the late reply I lost my password. I wrote this poem on a plane traveling for my job. I work away from home more than 50% of the time and on this occassion my wife didn't want me to leave, so I sent her this poem that night from my hotel.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
