A Dinner to Remember

Over the table, last dinner that night,

Mother’s presence, a warm and comforting sight.

The smell of her cooking, so relaxed and sweet,

Filled our hearts with joy, a toddlers treat.

As we sat down to eat, I looked at her face,

A smile so kind, and full of grace.

But there was sadness hidden deep inside,

A hint of tears that she tried to hide.

Her food was so delicious and rare,

I wished that we could just freeze time right there.

But every passing moment felt like goodbye,

A feeling so deep, I couldn’t deny.
