Focused on My Family – v3

A night out, Saturday, cut short

needing to go back home

to put them to bed,

to give her rest

a time to mend and heal

no regrets of the change

the redirection homeward

where we needed to be

resting when we needed to

no regrets at all

about the girls sleeping downstairs with gramma
