today is the day
woke up and made
breakfast for my mother
talked about missing
the littlest one early morning
chatterbox probably coming
home speaking Portuguese
today is the day
small screen live call
like something out of the Jetsons
sci-fi cartoon from childhood
could see the recognition
in her little smile
wondering why we aren't
in the same room or the next
one over or downstairs
instead of a different part of the world
moved some things around
seems like a whole new room
all over again
today is the day
eye reinvent the space
yet again what's one more
over twenty years strong...
