Tears

When you cut an onion

You know how when

You think of the future

And the wonder it can contain

Because you are with me

The trust I have in you

Not just because you say

I love you

Not just because you ask

Do you love me

Not just because you talk 

About my butt all the time

Because you share who you are

With me

Because your actions bring the future 

To the present

Your creativity

Your artistic impression

Of the future

When I think of that

While I am cutting an onion

From this curated garden

 of nourishment 

 What makes it into

 The kitchen

 Is where I thrive

And I cry

Because I am so happy

Looking to our future
