Use To Be Us

Oh to be in your kitchen once more 
To watch you work while I lean in the frame of the door 
To see what you make, and be there firsthand 
How you captured the science, I’ll never understand. 

I was always more of the chef, the cook
Experimental artist who wouldn’t look at a book 
But you are the baker, maker of delights 
As you pour in emotion as a poet when one writes. 

Oh how I long to be in your kitchen once more 
And my times with you weren’t a memory I store. 
How I long to hold again as you make something sweet
Warm cookies served with milk, memories favorite treat.
