Today I left for work early
Quietly so as not to
wake you and the children.
The day went by so slowly
All day I wanted
Was to be with you all.
Time stood still in the afternoon
I hardly did any work.
All I wanted
was to hold you
and hug the kids.
I picked up a speeding
ticket on the way home
I did not care.
When I got to our house
I rushed in the door
And the kids hugged me
I looked for you
And kissed you so hard
You said
wow what's that for?
I tell you honestly
You have a romantic fool
On your hands.
One that is to the brim
Happy with his life.
