Notes About The Poem

Leo Memories

it was summer and
mother had been busy
in the kitchen all day
making a fancy dinner
and custom birthday cake

year after year
it never got old
but I soon would ~
anticipation giving way
to fond memories



(Leo in title references the zodiac sign)

It's funny how you notice you've changed, but can't pinpoint when... which is better, anticipation or memories? I can't pick. J :) P.S. Love the photo - washing that smells like sunshine and roses.
