Another day they didn’t listen,
but who can blame them
when they don’t know fact from fiction.

I come home irritated,
and refrain from bitchin’
because that ain’t the first thing my wife should see.

I’m glad the workday is done,
so now I can have fun at home
with the people I’ve been missing.
Park my car,
shift my heart,
and put the past in remission.

I’m grateful for my life
and the home that I live in,
the sunsets I see
And the friends that come visit.

I have found a peace with the things that get at me ,
for they never outweigh the things that make me happy.

I used to escape with a bottle or a pill,
but who needs a vacation when you own a forest and a hill.
