What You Were

by Claudia Rey

Sunshine for my mornings
water for my garden
flour for my bread
smile for my mouth
laughter for my joy
peace for my mind
that’s what you were.
And what was I?
Wax for your floor
carpet for your feet
cup for you coffee
blanket for your nights?
Apparently not enough
since now you drink coffee
elsewhere.
