Valentine's Day at Home, Sweet Home


I wake up from my nap, 6:30 p.m. and groggy,
hungry, hopeful for a nice dinner downstairs,
it's Valentine's Day, after all!
Chocolate, flowers, nice dinner, presents!
I'm sure of it in this dreaming state of mine.
The microwave is going, I can hear the beeps
as he enters the cook time, sure he is tenderly
warming something yummy for me,
not the leftovers which he absent mindedly
removed from the refrigerator a moment ago,
his favorite paleo diet leftovers, meat and veggies;
he happily settles in to eat them while watching
basketball on his computer,
Ah Valentines' Day!
