PB&J
Held together, just barely
Each day comes, like the last
Counting time by the minutes,
As hours on the clock - pass
My life made up of moments
Some I begged, longer to stay
Like my childhood memories
Of PB&J
~
Simple slices of bread
Peanut butter inside
And some jelly mixed in
Brought the flavor to life
Sticky, sweet goodness
Spread magically with a knife
My face - covered with remnants
My tastebuds - favorite delight
~
PB&J, I would answer
When asked, what sounds good to you?
I loved it the best
When daddy took, and cut it in two
A triangle shape
Fit in my mouth like a glove
Lightly toasted and served to me, with his love
~
PB&J, who would have guessed
Would bring such memories to life
For a few moments, I escape
The days struggles and strife
To the kitchen I wander
For slices of wonder bread
Smearing some peanut butter
And strawberry spread
~
PB&J - to this day
Brings back - pieces of home
A place, chaotic sometimes
But where pure magic was grown
Giggles in the back yard
Or bounding happily, in fields of clover
Sweet, precious memories
I would love to do over
