At Home, While Out There Poem by Rob Knetsch
At Home, While Out There
at home
home, this private place
yes here, there may be
many things, items owned
all the stuff bought, given
animals for company, pets
or for food, meat, a meal
a lover, a darling, a sweetheart
a husband or wife, a spouse
while out there
there is something else
something that is not here
no not here, not at home
it is something that is missing
something that is captured
in a word that can replace all
those many other words, yes
a word that is written as friend

Lovely poem, though complete, but still missing a friend, BUT I thought that the wife or the husband IS the best friend after all the miniscule quarrels. I can say this because of own experience of course, but if yours is different and you created this lovely poem, then your married life is not as you expected to be. IF so, the friend in your concluding line, IS that someone you still need. Thank you for sharing, Rob!
