Feeling a loss? Some dear to me have lost loved ones recently. This poem is for them and for those who yearn to be close to someone far away.
Farewell to Abuelita Ana
Like a toasty mug of steaming cocoa
That we sip gently, slowly
Rich milky chocolate and gooey mnarshmallows
Sliding down to soothe our aching throats
Gliding down to comfort our weary souls
Warming our battered spirits on a wintery night.
So do the memories of those we love,
As we pause to reflect on happier times
The laughs we shared around the kitchen table
The sudden twinkle in our eyes
At some shared pleasant surprise.
These too warm our battered spirits on a wintery night.
