Glad You’re Home

I am really glad you’re back in town
now I smile instead of frown.
I played and walked, snacked and napped
waited so patiently until you got back.
Now things are good, I can mail a note
tell you how I’ve been, send a joke.
We can share our stories about fun in the sun
glad you’re back home, not on the run.
