Mama’s Kitchen
Chicken, capers, flour, butter,
Drench and dip, sizzle, sputter,
Blueberries scattered, nuts sprinkled on,
Avocado sliced, shaved Parmesan,
Dressing drizzled on crispy romaine,
Pasta steaming, waiting to be drained,
White wine fizzing, ice water chilled,
Napkins folded, plates are filled.
A garden has grown from the tablecloth,
With blooming bouquets on its warm golden top,
Soothing smells waltz in warm air,
Swaying in dim lights and shadows by chairs,
Glows and flickers, the candles set a mood,
For sharing and consuming much more than food,
Stories of the week and all our lives’ parts,
Satisfaction for the soul, full tummies and hearts.
