it's probably the kitchen table

When I wonder about the place where most memories are made; it's probably the kitchen table.

  • consider critical decisions are made here,
  •  arts projects are constructed,
  •  it's where cookies cool on baking racks, 
  • a place of science project experiments, 
  • meals spread out, 
  • tearful entreaties are waged, 
  • deals are signed, 
  • agreements confirmed, 
  • birthday cakes song over the warmth of the table, 
  • purposeful food dropped to open mouths of begging pets,
  • flowers proudly displayed,
  • devotions prayed and discussed around,
  • and where family gathers 
There are no punishments meted out over the kitchen table, 
it isn't a place for consequence,

Rather, 
it's a place of joy, of memories, of laughter,

It's my favorite kind of place.
