I pulled out love
crumpled and creased

buried beneath
your ironed shirts
the children’s socks
and potato peelings

  4. True love does look beyond and actually enjoy those everyday things or that's been my experience.

    Nicely written and so much said in few words. The lives of families are in the telling.
