Breakfast

Table set with flowers and beauty
                        birds sing their eager approval
                        In the distance they wait patiently
                        for a crumb or two to fall...

                        Chattering voices
                        like nature's gossip
                        fill the early morning air
                        with great expectations
                        of the promising day that lies ahead

                        For a moment
                        a sweet memory warms my flesh
                        like the aroma of the fresh baked bread
                        And I glance lovingly, longingly
                        at the sun's emerging rays
                        on the nearby concrete wall
