Surprise

I arrived home after almost a year of being away.

Restoration in perfect hope,

Nostalgia recovered, no remorse.

Autumn winds brings Summer's end;

Fin'lly home, I do pretend.

Apple cider, pumpkin seeds,

Falling snow bring me to ease.

Football games, I cann't complain,

Daddy's arms, for me, sustain.

Fire burning, burning logs,

At my feet are my dear dogs.

I close my eyes and then realize

I am at home to my surprise.
