it’s just then…

You know, it just when
cocoa powder suddenly decides to fly all over the kitchen
and you get chocolate batter
in your hair
trying to move it out of your face
to see
then it splatters
your shirt
and then the muffins decide to spill over
in the oven
and when you slide in a cookie sheet
to catch the drips
you burn your wrist
it’s when every little thing seems
suddenly set
to annoy
and you wonder if the whole world
is against you…
it is then,
that you remember
the note that says ‘I Love You’
and a lovely slice of chocolate cake
that greets you
in the morning
because he knows
even in his abscence
how this
will make you
smile
it’s finding that your crocuses
have not been beaten down
by freezing rain
but today
are out there still
smiling
in the sunshine
it’s when you remember
that he
will be home from work
soon
and you will have a rare
Saturday night
together
it is just then
you take a deep breath
and the air fills with
deliciousness
and all
Gratitude
