[bodytext] => When I was small enough to fit in your lap When I used to sit on the countertops and watch your cook You would carry me in your arms and tuck me in every night And that’s how we spent our weekends at your house Eating oranges under the sun. At nine I moved halfway around the world I never complained, knowing all the reasons. I lost myself in my books and the stories you once read to me. Even though we talked every weekend it was never the same At thirteen I started over. Yet I still longed to be that little kid again. Why should I have to grow up without you? At fifteen you came to visit But you reminded me that I had grown too big for your lap, and perhaps even your world. In the two months you stayed, you only spent a week with me. Here I am again, but not the child I once was. Yet I still hold the hope of watching you cook, like I once had. I still have the sweater you knitted for me when I was five, even though I have long overgrown it. Tell me when you come to visit again So I can empty myself of all emotion this time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
