It is just a table and chairs…

It is just a table and chairs…
Yet around it there are all the promises…
And for me, there are crumbs and droppings…
Big or small, I’ll eat them all.

There is comfort…
Always lessons to be learned and tales to be told…
Some talking about their Springtime joy…
Others talking about the rain and the winds.

Everyone is completely present…
A good joke can turn into a chunky spray…
Happy, triumphant occasions…
“Hurry!” says Grandma, “Your food is getting cold!”

There are cups that are overflowing…
There are cups waiting to be filled…
However, it is never quiet…
It is the best part of family and friendship.

There ought to be a poem about this (here is my submission…)
But it is hard to describe in regular words (For humans yes, for pups no…)
Let’s make a toast…
To family, fellowship and love.

And to all the best memories of 2024…

Happy New Year!

I love you,

Annie
