cold rain splashing the windows--
but inside is warm.
Cozy on the couch
as we lie cuddled up close,
just us and the dog,
the whole house is quiet
no noise but the soft raindrops
to pierce the moment.
I study, he sleeps
dreams of more money, perhaps
or a better job
but I am content
though we do not have much now
just to sit, watch, learn.
Tonight we went out
no dinner and a movie
just Target wand'ring
came home with Christmas
in our bags, ornaments and
advent calendars...
Better than a date
because Christmas is my time,
our time now for joy
and to have a tree
means more than any fancy
dinner ever could.
