This is something I wrote for my partner...




Sometimes I forget

The smile’s first appearance
A mouth full of stolen gum
A warm restaurant gives respite
A warmer story gives hope
Spanish words strung together for the first time
Laughter over their meaning
The boring bus ride to work,
The running smile makes it easy
Time not to be wasted
A clock to be constructed, a puzzle to be solved
A multitude of friends come to roost
The dove wishes to escape
Change of venue is welcomed
Three rooms are better than one
Cafe, yellow, and green
The changes are needed
The search for permanent happiness
A citizen of belonging found
The stress of contractual living takes its toll
Relief grounded in government
Busy lives with forgotten laughter
Laughter taught to me
Sometimes I forget
