The Drive Home



It had been a long day with Uncle Jack
Baby Less fell asleep dreaming of all the shells
in the sack.
He was so excited to show his Mama Tess what they had found
Less know his Mama would love to look and decorate the house
with pretty shells.
There would be lamps with shells, jars of shells, baskets of
shells, and even shells to hold.
Mama Tess loved shells. She had some that you could hear
the roar of the ocean.
Less thought about how he liked those the best
Less opened his eyes and Uncle Jack said,
"Hey, partner, we are heading west."
Baby Less knew he would be home soon.
He finally saw his house and began to smile
because there on the lawn was his Mama Tess
She started to wave and came to the car
She welcomed them back with hugs and kisses,
and said,"Papa Wess is waiting for you, too."
The four sat down to dinner and what a winner!
Chicken legs and dumplings, and apple pie
Uncle Jack talked about their adventures
and finding the shells and just at that moment
Baby Less said,"Sack, Mama!"
Mama Tess went over the the sack and let out
a loud shout,"Oh! Less, thank you, how sweet!"

How loving a gathering. Family, the gifts of the sea gathered, and then newly gifted with delight and love. Good warm feelings as I envisioned the scenes you set in place. And now a warm HUG!
