With love there is always room at the table.
Bring what you have to share
even if it is just a memory, a song.
Together we will make a meal to feed
not just our stomachs
our souls shall be satisfied
nourished through connection.
Your stories on my tongue
sweet and savory.

So true. With love, anyone is welcome and deserves to sit together and be with each other. No one left out and everyone can join in the conversation. Beautifully written 😊

Thanks Mabel. Great to hear from you. My focus for poetry this month is love. The time I am spending reflecting on the many forms of love has been more amazing that I thought and the month is far from over. Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?

You are right. The month is far from over, and the year is far from over. No, I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. Or my birthday. I celebrate each day as it is, as each day is special in itself and worth living for, and appreciating.
