Daddy’s Home

They wait

wiggling and squirming, anticipating his arrival, when a faint rumbling farm truck approaches

“Daddy is home!” they yell

racing to the mudroom door to lunge into his tight embrace, joyful kisses, bubbling chatter revealing precious love and true wealth

Life –

it’s about

coming home.
