The pot of life

At dinner

We decided 

To share 

Our meal.

Out for 

The 

Night

We sit at 

The restaurant

Talking

Smiling

Laughing.

I am

So happy

At this

Moment.

Our dinner

Comes

In 

This pot.

It's crab

Legs 

Potatoes

Sausage

Shrimp.

We start eating 

And as we do

I ask 

You for help 

With my crab 

Legs.

You reach 

Over me

To help

And suddenly 

I see us.

I look at 

You.

But you 

Are concentrating

On helping 

Me.

You

Finish 

And continue 

Eating.

As I stare 

At 

You

I feel a

 Single tear 

Floating down

My face.

I quickly 

Grab 

A napkin

And wipe 

My face.

You look at

Me and smile.

I look at 

This pot

And it 

All makes 

Sense.

You are 

My life.

My pot 

Filled 

Wirh 

All new 

Memories 

New love.

You are my 

Pot 

Of life.

And you fill

My soul.
