I'll Remember

She sits, drinking her morning coffee

I ask her if she’d like eggs for breakfast

“Yes, that would be fine”

She takes another sip

“What’s for breakfast?”

Eggs, I remind her

As I empty the dishwasher

We talk about today’s agenda

A trip to the store is planned

“What are you going to make for breakfast?”

I tell her I thought eggs would be nice

Oh yes, she likes eggs

Easter is coming; “Do you remember?”

There was that Easter that it snowed

She likes to travel

And would like to go to Maine

I offer to plan a trip

“But I won’t remember”

I’ll remember for us
