She just made my day, okay!

she just made my day
okay!
what else can I say?

when I came out
from under the bed
after the home invaders fled

She was there
Standing firm
holding the toast
that she had burned

making it known
she was home
and I could now relax;


I offered to help
take off her boots
but she said she had
a new recruit

he came in and
shook my hand
and called himself
'the man'
..and said he does her taxes

scrubbing the dishes
vigorously
I feel safe
but uneasy

every time she
comes back home
she brings something new
unknown
