New Year's at Oma and Opa's
A poem
New Year's at Oma and Opa's
Silver mirrored sun
over familial hearth
reflects a memory;
firewood stacked
on mortared stone
Open the door
light the tree,
chocolate lab—
Abby likes you
Smiling cherubs
laughing away,
smell the love
like bacon frying
smoky
gimme a hug
feels real good;
ride the homemade luge
into fragrant . . .
