Ode To Under-Appreciated Left-Overs

Ode To Under-Appreciated Left-Overs

(Ode To Laundry Detergent)

For the music and rhythm,

I thank you

For the Laughter in tears and sadness in Joy,

I thank you

For the cans of Coke,

I thank you

For the couch in times of lonesomeness,

I thank you

For the multiple puffs of Kentucky’s Best,

I thank you

For the Talents of Mania;

Power in Grandeur;

Soulfulness of Depressive thoughts;

Self-Awareness in Anger,

I thank you

For a garage and eternity full of memories,

I thank you

For the Lyrics of my poetry;

Songs in my actions;

Cadence in my grief;

Melody in my Love,

I thank you

For the Safety in Protectiveness,

I thank you

For the late night talks,

I thank you

For Sisterhood bonded in Loss,

I thank you

For the Understanding found in Tragic people,

I thank you

And--

For the surprise of Gratitude for a left-over bottle of laundry detergent,

I thank you
