Counting the days...

The day is getting closer
The time draws short fast
She thinks I'm not counting
But I am
In my own way.
Her eyes will shine upon me
And she'll see the grin she inspires
...And someone may have to turn a hose on us!

As you might guess by the above snippet of poetry, I have a visitor coming, and I am growing increasingly excited. I have lots of plans, a few surprises, but no expectations. She is who she is, I am who I am and I won't force her into changes she isn't ready for. She knows how I feel about things going on in her life, and I've given my opinion on it, on what she could do. But the choice, whatever it may be, has to be hers. If I push, I'm no better than the people who are already beating her down emotionally. But that aside, fun will be had, old friends met and new ones made while she's here. Who knows, I may even be able to see this old waterfront town freshly through her eyes.
