Another rainy night at home

I do feel safe and comfortable
When everyone is gone
And it is just we two
Yesterday, we left the comfort
Of our fellow Christians
And the ham and beans and rolls
A kind word, a smile
And we walked to our car
In an unexpected rain
Washing the pollen down the gutters
Leaving the refuse in the street
My wipers attempting the cleanup
The road leading us homeward
To a soft chair, a cup of tea
And another night alone
With my one true love.
