Reminiscence

Day : 14
Note : wobbly table


                               Reminiscence


The wobbly table and rickety chair

Have been part of my family for years

My earliest memories are of my mother

Sitting to write dates of births and of deaths

Writing poetry and numerous letters

Silken wood patina where her arm would rest

Sometimes when I rest my head after work

Her jasmine scent wafts up , she is so near

One day my children too will find me in

The wobbly table and rickety chair
