Sweet Tea Saturday

The amber color the tea is turning
As it starts to boil 
Reminds me of his eyes.  
Little bubbles 
Floating
From
The 
Bottom
Remind me of the laughter of my children
The sound is dancing
Twinkling through 
The thick molasses of a darkening depression. 
My eyes drift to a tiny, 
happy hand 
resting on his smiling chin. 
I’m writing poems in the kitchen. 
Loved. 
We are all,
Loved.
