Poem: Sweet Potato Pie

……………………………My comfort meal,

shows on my stomach, on my thigh;

Void of false dream lingers, as I wipe my eyes;

tear drops, tell tales:

I miss Him.

I miss Him.

“Is that true?”

Or maybe it’s’ the magic, you left in my heart;

The long years—waiting, since we had part:

I close my eyes and reminisce,

The moments of joy—we’d shared;

I whisper:

Hold me.

Show me.

Tell me you love me,

Be true and that’s no lie!
