Chocolate Gravy

The ride is as long and boring as could be. 
So I sit and watch leaves fall from the trees. Then I heard her say hello. 
And out of the car, I was sure to go.

The smell of bacon pleases me. 
As I sit under the big tree. 
There are eggs, biscuits, sausage, and bacon. What I notice the most is the gravy or was I mistaken.

The regular gravy that I put on my biscuit. 
But this one, this one was way different. 
Dark and creamy, no chunks at all. 
But before I could ask, I heard “ Come and eat y’all. “ 

It’s different now with her not here. 
This is the one thing that I had feared. 
I knew her time was soon to be. 
Not that soon I hoped, but now she’s free.

But now I know, as time has passed. 
That I wish she had seen me last. 
The memories are very wavy. 
But sometimes I wish I had some chocolate gravy.
