This morning, the host of Ethical ELA encouraged us to write about memories
stitched together, as in a quilt.
Until, the twenty aughts,
We celebrated families, birthdays, holidays.
Too much food, lots of laughter, so many memories,
Reminders of love, rather than gifts, optional.
I wonder if she knew these butterflies, flowers,
Now, nestled in a worn, stained apron,
Stitched in love, so long ago,
Would still hang in my hallway?
Daily reminders to savor special moments,
While the future is not promised,
Embrace the present, celebrate your people.
