to ponder

ah....it's soon eve to the leaving
my entire family is soon to be gone!
my wife and son are going here
and my daughter is going there
I can't celebrate....
I'm not exactly happy about this
I can't mourn...
I can't even commiserate....
but, since I'll be alone for quite some time
I do know what I must do...
my own dirty dishes
...laundry
...cooking
...cleaning
......thinking?
make decisions? for myself?
how could they do this to me?!
don't they know I'm just a...just a....
oh no....I'll be 'home alone'!
..................................
wait a minute....
I'll be home alone?
I won't have to do any of those things
I'll just do....what I'll do
and I won't know what that is....until I do it
hmmm....
...any suggestions?

My suggestion is ... the title of your poem, just ponder for a while, you have some time bequeathed to you to do some thinking ... I'm sure you haven't done much serious thinking of late within this bustle called life ... just relax and stay with yourself as a companion for a while.

Hedi,
You are too funny. I think you could take time to write more great poetry! Take care.

My dear husband, I will only be gone long enough to see my daughter through her surgery (though it will be awhile). Please at least do the dishes. My pots and pans were quite expensive! I'm not worried about the cleaning....I am worried about the cooking! Watch the sodium and the sugar! As for the laundry, as long as you and the house don't smell bad when I return, I'll be happy. Love you!

Lyn...what about the dogs? are you positive that your family might not enjoy meeting and spending some time with our 'extended family'? please, please, consider it....I'll pack their things for 'ya!
