Embrace Every Day

Chris Bodor
Florida, USA 

The morning coffee that you crave
is now knocked over
Wasted. Never tasted
Soaked into the carpet of your car.

The unused umbrella
that you carried all month
is lost at this moment
while you walk to work
in the pouring rain.

Your partner
lies beside you every night
Then you fight
Suddenly one of you is sleeping alone
on the sofa in the living room.

You speak of love
during your daily routine
but what does love really mean?

Define love before it leaves
Embrace every day
Quick, before love slips away.
