not so lonely

I am not so lonely

I do not miss the noise

the slamming, banging

running, barking ,yelling hooting and hollering.

the smell is gone

the peace has come

I know its not for long

I know it will end

someone will come

tears and runny noses will flow

the camp out will be over

about the time I lay my head down to rest

the back door will open someone will yell

MOMMA!

or Mrs.Humphrey!

I want to come in!

make up the cots

pile up the blankets on the floor

find the snuggle buddies

settle down once more

then I'll stop and look around

nope not here

then I'll go look and there he'll be out in the tent all alone

lucky Mr Humphrey
