Looking out my Kitchen WindowA Poem by Anne TimminsLooking out my kitchen window
Wishing for another day another Captain Crunch and milk spilled on the table; or peanut putter and jelly smeared on the counter top it’s gone in a blink of an eye take a deep breath Exhale- It’ll be all over quicker than you realize Faster than a speeding bullet Take it all in mommy forget those anger moments Laugh and giggle in the middle of a puddle of chocolate spilled milk of sand-like sugar, salt, and pepper lying on the floor Forget the time it takes to clean up the mess to wash hands and faces just laugh and be in the moment of it all It only last for a millisecond and then…it’s over. They’re off to university, or homes of their own to chase the dollar, and grow children and lives it happens in the blink of an eye"so quick faster than a speeding bullet! Catch this moment in your memory! © 2014 Anne Timmins |
