The Dinner Table

Tearful scent
Like fragrant childhood afternoons
Now repeated, all but
…unexpected, but gleefully accepted
…and appreciated.
Your good and bad
Shared over a bowl of rice
Laughter and green salsa
Please pass the skewers!
Tangled conversation woven
Together with apple sauce
…and again with the laughter.
I call the seat!
Healthy ambitions concocted
And presented with homemade bread
…and whipped cream.
Parental admiration of
Child and adolescent
Growing.
Reluctant advisors
Imparting love schemes.
Commenced in reverence
Concluded…
May I be excused?
