Sweetened Coffee

I live to see this.

Your smile is the sweetness

in my bitter coffee days…

That ray of gold that warms my soul

when things don’t go my way…

That flooding light that clears my path,

heat from the Sun in which I bask,

and when accompanied by your laugh…

like cold ice cream in a warm glass…

it melts me.

Just the memory of it

helps me Through my toils and my tasks.

Giving me something meaningful

to run to –

to come home to.

Indeed, I need it

Please, believe this

for your smile is the sweetness

in my bitter coffee days.
