thoughts appear while standing by the creamy smooth sink
feet planted at days beginning or end as eyes take in a garden of memories
hoping that each moment might shine as a vibrant blue bottle
that you recall the comfort and love stitched for life
bright shadows whisper of growth around each leaf
along with the plump ripeness of each experience
I linger here in this everyday spot smiling through a tear drop
hoping that somewhere you are sitting pretty
