#weekdaythoughts

dogs that sleep next to our bed and wag their tails to wake us up in the morning

earlier than we’d wish, but too joyful to ignore.

I want a home with children who scatter their toys and ideas across the yard,

pleading for a story told, a cookie from the cookie jar, 10 more minutes before bedtime,

pleading for the room and inspiration to grow. 

I want a home that feels like a lantern,
