Bernard MacCabe

Home is our enchanted cottage
in the forest.

Our backyard of woods,
raccoons and birdsong.

The glorious sunsets.
The glory of nature.

The sound of rain gently blanketing
the trees when we are lucky.

The thunder shaking our cottage
when we are luckier.

Our two kitties,
Tiger and Raleigh.

The place where I breathe sighs of relief
and feel safe.

The cozy little cottage just
big enough for Peter and me.

And where Peter is, my heart is.
And my home.
