The family table is groaning with the weight of Sunday roast
Lovingly prepared in honour of your imminent departure.
The overly ambitious profiterole challenge debated once more
Amongst chatter, smiles and the warmth of all that is familiar.
In these uneasy, uncertain times, one last purposeful embrace
Always a remedy for the maternal instinct of fierce protection and concern.
As you close the door behind you, I whisper a prayer for your safe-keeping.
It is never easy watching you leave.
Felt a wee tug at the heart strings reading the last line. Thank you for sharing.
Great snapshot of family life. Intrigued by the profiterole challenge. hmm. Cooking them or eating them? Or something even more ambitious?
