A Heavenly Meal
as soon as mother shouts "dinner's ready!"
I run to the kitchen, my pace steady
i watch the hot steam dance above my plate
my mouth is watering, i just can't wait
can i not just dive right in already?
i sit there staring, watching patiently
it stares me right back, whispering "eat me"
how can i wait any longer? just how?
then at last, mother says "you may start now"
i indulge in my heaven, finally
