Hike to the rainbow lake packed with arguments and grunts
Drive a little longer because the song still plays
Hiding behind books looking for moments to share
Dancing in the kitchen to songs we randomly choose
Sitting on the floor fighting over the blue cushions and the swing
Mankala isn’t a game it is match of wits
Grocery lists we forget but remember who shouted shotgun the last trip
Weekend stroll on the main street
Trips to bookstores and old books sale
Detours taken to explore something new
Loud and messy conversations over laundry
Secrets shared after long days we endure
Drop-offs and pickups, the schedule must be in writing
Life I heard is in these moments
Moments I call family time….
Black Coffee and Grey Stories
