As I Wait
As I Wait
In the evening
before dinner
Dad walks
into the kitchen
and heads
to the stove
The aroma
of rosemary
flows
towards me
and sticks
to my mouth
The steak sizzles
when it touches
the hot pan
I hear my stomach gurgle
as I wait impatiently
Finally
dad calls me
to the dinner table
I take a bite
My stomach
is satisfied
There’s nothing
like the food
at home
