Kitchen Drawer

I pulled out the kitchen drawer
To organize and clean
All the forks and spoons
So many things actually
And found a plethora of pictures
Of your lives growing up
The stories that it told
Facets young and old
Of how loving you all were
Images of a compassionate
Place to evolve and smile
No tales of disaster
Swingsets rooms full of laughter
Baking things together
Being with one another
Reminding you of what it took
To build parts of your existence
Until one day you became
What great humans you are now
To be proud of what you have
Achieved wearing hearts
Upon our sleeves and humbly still
And Oh, the pictures you will take
And Oh, the stories you will tell
And Oh, the songs that you will sing
That you can keep in your
Kitchen drawer for
Someone else to see
One day
