Holiday

Today was a holiday.
I spent with my
Family.
I cooked and
Laughed and
Danced all day.
While in the kitchen
Cooking a song came
On the radio.
It made me think
Of the last meal
I made for you.
For us.
I remember the song
Came on as we sat
Down to eat
Breathe again
Was playing.
I smiled and
Looked at you.
I know it's been
Hard and we
Are exhausted
I said .
You pushed the food
Around on
The plate.
I hate your cooking
And push the plate
On the floor .
I look at you
With tears running
Down my face .
I hate this, I say .
You will never
Find anyone to love
You...you are
Unlovable.. You
Scream at me.
I get up and start
Cleaning up The mess.
I could barely breathe
As I was crying
And you were
Just ranting
And raving.
I left the next day.
Crying , praying
That I would breathe
Again.
As I looked at my
Family and served
Them the beautiful
Food I sat and
Smiled.
I bowed my head,
And said grace.
Lord bless us and all our gifts
Fill our hearts minds and souls
With courage. Bless these
Beautiful people
For loving me and
Thank you Lord..
You gave me
Back my air.
