Tear at the table
To have everyone present
Happy, laughing
In this moment
Who knows what is to come
For you
Or you
Or you
A year from now
Or a month
Or a week
Or a day
But now can we just say
That it is good?
It is so very very good!
The sweetness of smells from the kitchen
Of smiles from children
Of sitting together at a table set for ten
As fall light streams in from
Between the leaves
On shaky branches in the backyard.
Can we just say
That today is good?
Today is so very very good!
