She Will...
invite you in right away, and ask you how your drive was
she will offer you something to drink,
if she's lucky, you will tell her coffee, because that is what she'll want and it's always sweeter shared between friends
she will make sure you are comfortable, wherever you choose to sit, and she'll start right in,
"how are you?" "how is your family?" "what is new?" "is there anything i can help with?"
she will listen with intent, and do her best to not interrupt,
she will show you around her house a little, or a lot, if you are interested,
and tell you all about the history in the decor,
she will have made you dessert,
and will feel honored if you stay
to share it with her.
she will ask you again if you need
anything and make sure you are comfy,
and when you leave, she'll be overwhelmingly
grateful for your visit.
the she,
is me.
please come
again.
of course she will! never doubted it for a moment.
