You Will Sit In Cafes

You will sit in cafes
in Paris and Vienna
with your grandmother’s eyes,
your other grandmother’s smile
and your own funny sunny ways.

You will sit in cafes,
when you are grown,
where the dust of my
words will have settled
onto the tables and chairs
and into the deepest
libraries of your heart.

So, I must continue to
be conscious that my words
are sweet and caring.

And continue to say
“I’m sorry” when I mess up.

You will sit in cafes
and travel smilingly happy,
for you are made of love.
