A quiet alley way that we live on
Is aligned with colorful small deep blue tables
And matching chairs
Purple pots with greenery tops
Align the stairs
A high Tower at the end of our alley way
Is our church with its golden steeple
Where the stay-at-home Summer people
Meet and pray
A long door with a stained window of color
Once opened, this family has much to offer
Outside
Blues, soft and deep
Steeped
With mellow dove gray concrete
Embrace our luxurious blue door
Which gives it magical allure
To all who pass are welcome within
Colors change once you are drawn in
Our bright yellow lemons, oranges, red apples
And purple grapes in a wooden coffee brown bowl help to unfold
To a mid day sun so bold
Fresh figs, nuts and dates
Most definately create
A warmth of our love and faithful state
Please enter our humble abode
Our eating room is long and wide where stories unfold
And welcomes all who step inside
Many have said
It’s our place where minds and mouths are fed
To make a body feel its weight in gold
It has been told
Our table of aged maple is long and created by hand
Our chairs are deep purple end to end
Strawberry red, Blue and lime green
With paisley designed seats; an artist’s dream
Everyone who leaves our Cucina departs
With gladdened hearts
Here we exchange old recipes
Here we love to linger with yesterday’s memories
Share our love of God, country and reasons for our existences
Our love of food and family
And this we call reminiscences
Giving daily thanks for our liveliness
Amen
(One Thank You is enough for a prayer; It shows, and He knows we care) ………….. WISDOM IN PRAYER Nancy Fraioli
