Consistently You 

By Claire Lu 

Reminiscing your house, the first place I called “home”
Reminiscing my childhood, when your presence was just around the corner 
Reminiscing your care, your words, your wisdom 
Reminiscing our log afternoons, enthralled by your captivating stories 

Especially you, who understands me entirely 
Especially you, who offers boundless compassion and underserved forgiveness 
Especially you, who brings me comfort amidst surrounding chaos
Especially you, whom I have endless love for 

Time after time, your sprouts cease to wither
Time after time, your warmth becomes a serene magnet for others
Time after time, you find the faint light in an enveloping darkness 
Time after time, you are the steady strength I lean on 
Time after time, I eagerly await our yearly reunion
