company never hurt a home
company is coming – oh my
plan the dinner and bake a pie
make fresh bread and cinnamon buns
clean the kitchen with the dishes all done
fold the laundry to each one’s pile
clean the bathrooms and polish the tile
vacuum the corners and put things in place
dust each surface and straighten the lace
move all the furniture back into line
clean the windows and make things shine
with time left over to count to five
their car is turning into the drive
. . .
we have had our stories and all of our fun
and now it is time for them to run
the visit is over and said our good-byes
thankful for friends and family ties
sit on the sofa and put up my feet
look around and oh what a treat
my home is clean for me
. . .
the best is always yet to come
Once again I got to experience the appreciation of company coming. I mentioned to my girlfriend your saying “company never hurt a home” and she commented “I sometimes wonder if my house would ever get cleaned if it wasn’t for company”. So each of us is truly connected and support each other when we become the company.
