Don't forget the plastic spoons

Moments that give me
the greatest pleasure
must seem insignificant
to the rest of the world

They would seem that way
if one did not know
how much gestures of care
can do for a wounded soul

Dishes are in the dishwasher
the oil is changed on your car
don't forget the plastic spoons
you needed for that banquet

Text messages of love
are not always professions
full of romance
and longing

Sometimes the best messages
are simply reminders
of the mundane
from the man who holds my heart
