The closet is waiting for you to make tiny apartments
The pillows are on the couch and long to be spread under tables and desks for forts
The bedposts are longing for new spider webs made from colored yarn
The dance floor is looking for a their doll dancers to
dance and pose.
Soon
The stuffed animals are sad that they are not making someone sneeze
The Oreo cookies miss being in goodie bags
The blankets are bored with being just spread neatly on beds
The drawers are still hoping that curious hands will open them
and look for treasures
Be patient
The toy boxes are shut tight and are longing to be open to the fresh air
"Open me," they beg.
The spaces behind doors are empty and waiting for someone to hide
The chairs are cold and need some tushies to sit on them.
The Mankala board is empty and waiting for the beans to crowd their pews
We miss you
The books pages are itching to be turned
The keys of the piano long to be pressed
The markers are waiting to be opened and continue their circular dance on paper
The table is lonely for food to crowd its expanse
The water faucet waits for water to flow and for little hands to wash
Just wait
There are holes waiting to be dug in the yard
There are seeds waiting to be planted in the garden
There are treasures waiting to be found under the forsythia bush
There are worms waiting to be dug up and investigated
There are rainbows waiting to be seen
The time will come
Just wait
