LOVE CONTINUES TO SING

Give the greens a rinse,
a little warmth and small talk,
a celebration of life,
a Sunday celebration,
and football on the screen,

comfort with a fall sunset,
an evening meal,
white cake and candles
waiting, thirty-nine,
the magic number,

grateful smiles
and rosy cheeks
from the one they cherish,

reminiscing in the after
dinner pause, candles
to be lit to start a new year,
with a bonfire silhouette,
as love continues to sing.
