All day I watch the horrors of modern life come screaming in on four wheels with lights flashing     “Code Blue, ER, Room 6!”     “Code Blue, ER, Room 6!” I drive home exhausted Spacing out to familiar tunes as the wind blows my hair away from my face Letting the emotional baggage of the work day slip out the window into the night air     But still That tenseness in the shoulders remains. Then I walk in the door And two pairs of eyes     Both the same shade of rusty brown And two smiles One toothless The other filled with perfect shining white teeth     Both glowing with love Greet me. This is who I do it for. I kiss one chubby little cheek     I kiss one set of waiting lips And my shoulders relax.

All day I watch the horrors of modern life come screaming in on four wheels with lights flashing     “Code Blue, ER, Room 6!”     “Code Blue, ER, Room 6!” I drive home exhausted Spacing out to familiar tunes as the wind blows my hair away from my face Letting the emotional baggage of the work day slip out the window into the night air     But still That tenseness in the shoulders remains. Then I walk in the door And two pairs of eyes     Both the same shade of rusty brown And two smiles One toothless The other filled with perfect shining white teeth     Both glowing with love Greet me. This is who I do it for. I kiss one chubby little cheek     I kiss one set of waiting lips And my shoulders relax.
To my family: my remedy and my purpose, for you I will do anything.  Who needs wine when you have baby kisses?
