Butter Cookie
Let me be:
As tasty as second-day chili
Sweet and soft as a homemade butter cookie
Tender as aged meat
Giving as one who has little yet so much.
I want to “be:”
Slow enough to catch my memories
Quick enough to chase my grandkids
Deep enough to truly love
High enough to truly see.
Vintage. Old soul. Seer. Lover.
Help me embrace these parts of me.
That I may truly enjoy life
And the gift of my years.
