A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN
I invited him in
Told him this was his house
“Take off your shoes, stay awhile
make yourself at home.”
“Rearrange the furniture if you like.
You can discard whatever’s in your way,
even if it seems precious to me.”
“Here,
here in my heart,
in this space
make a room of your own
to just be.”
He came in, looked around and smiled,
then walked to the mantle in the Great Room.
He noticed something was missing.
He cleared a place,
then put Her picture there.
I was surprised. He was pleased.
He was home.
