He walks in
The week washes away
Another set of hands
A fresh bottle of patience
An extra referee
He walks in
So does the laughter
A tooth brusher
A “hobbit story” teller
A chariot to deliver tired bodies to bed
He walks in
Our family is complete
He walks in

It’s good to have a teammate. I really love the way the week washes away. Not to get too analytical, but it’s really a cool line. “Week” is a word with an abrupt ending consonant. It’s sort of a hard word, but “washes” is smooth, it softens the week, and then “away” has no hard sound at all. It just drifts off the line. That’s the way a Friday should go, from hard work to drifting off.
