Remember December

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.
