Love Letter to My Mom

Sweet and Sour
there has to be a balance.
This is our kind of love.
The rule follower and the rule breaker.
We need both.
There is fear
of not being able to love,
how you need to be loved.
The love I have to give takes the correct route.
You have sacrificed and my child eyes
have blinded me from remembering.
The love I have to give will look for a bargain.
This is not enough for balance.
I love your loyalty.
I love your cooking.
I love your thoughtfulness.
And so our dance continues as
two different kinds of chefs
in the kitchen
to find a balance
so we can feast on our beautiful creation.
