We
meet at the kitchen table
in the morning
to read the morning news
and talk about the topics at hand
we drink our coffee
we exchange comments
questions
and pleasantries
a pun
a joke or two
this is our starting point for the day
our conversations meet in the middle
of the table
all centered around
our family and our familiarity
drawing on our years together
drawing us closer still
we offer opinions
we exchange ideas
we come to know each other better
the kitchen table serves us well
it serves up conversation and
better understanding
along with a warm cup
of love.
