The Greatest Treasure

[Guest guest]

Me and Norris were in the outback

searching for the answers

to the mysteries of the universe,

scrabbling through the rocks there,

seeking the greatest treasure in existence.

Time was growing dangerously short,

and the lengthening shadows hinted

at the coming of the dark.

When we heard call.

Looking up, there she was

on the back porch framed by the light

of the door behind her,

an angel in brown gingham

and a white apron.

 

"Time to come in and wash up boys,

Your Daddy 'll be home soon,

and supper's ready, here gimme a hug."

 

"Mace, you haven't been letting Norris

put those rocks in his mouth again

have you?"

 

"No Mom!, but we found some real

good ones today!"
