Not your Traditional Home
My
home is
freezing cold.
There are no comfy
beds or sofas, only benches.
Many people of all shapes and sizes
visit morning, noon and night , 7 days per week.
There is screaming and hollering and an occasional scuffle.
But, when that black puck drops my teammates hearts heat up
when racing down the ice for a goal.
The frosty cold benches are covered
with bum warmers and coffee cups.
While the smell of rink fries and
ketchup fills the sweaty cold air.
Generations of hockey players
jump up and down in excitement.
This is my home where I can be
myself in complete joy and happiness.
