Ode to the Kitchen Floor

littered with crumbs,

paper, toys and spills

we stumble across it to the coffee each morn

run across it throughout the day

we sit on it to draw or play

spread big projects across it

there are dents & gouges throughout it

I say they give it character

we don't often think of it

or give it it's due

but the life of this family

revolves around this floor

we gather for joy and sorrow 

for work and play

it asks for almost nothing in return

except the occasional sweeping

every day and night it is here

collecting the crumbs of our lives.
