Remember December
Remember the scents of
Dust through sunny windows
Paint aging never peeling,
Laundry fresh and fine
Perfume warm as life in every hug
And laugh
And lecture.
Oil heating to grease
On a busy gas stove
Cakes rising up sweet
For us
Food for the soul
Remember the sights
Us framed in our best
Never aging.
Rooms pink, and green, and gold
Antiques that never looked old.
Remember the sounds of
Our voices rising
In play
In Shouts
In Laughter
Whining.
Videos of
Music,
Movies,
And Nintendo
Remember the meals
Sunday evenings
Christmas mornings
Summer afternoons
I cherished most.
Remember her as a Refuse
A Resting place
Vacations
And Visits
Remember His
Roses in Springtime
Tea Olives in Summer
Fall Fires
And
In Winter Spruce.
Remember December
And August and June
Remember us the way we used to be.
As We Remember you.
