The Long Way Home

Every moment I spend with you

Let's make it slow, so slow

We'll mark the moments as they go

I love when everything falls into place

Well, I have eyes to see

I have life that's bursting forth inside of me

So, let's take the long way home

-Catherine MacLellan

"Let's take the long way home."

My husband probably gets tired of hearing me say this.

But I love when he turns down a country road and we leave the highway far behind.

There's something sweet about spending ten extra minutes sitting beside him,

our hands interlocked with the windows rolled down.

I think of all the memories we'd miss.

And then I'm thankful for how willing my husband is to take the long way home.
