(2014)
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition

The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds

Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it

Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
