Break Bread

I crave a feeling of accomplishment

via

Of starting something and finishing it

The making of something that will fulfill me

All of me

My inner child

My current self

The old lady I will become

I want all three of those selves to be satisfied with the life I made

With the choices

Right ones

Difficult ones

With the experiences

Fearful times

Joyous times

So at the end

At the end I can say

I used everything I was given

 I started something

Finished it

Was fulfilled

One day I want to break bread with myself

Be happy to have time to look back on my life

Feel that I did something worthy

Feel complete within myself

I want to be enveloped in the memories of the fruits of my labor

and say

Yes, you did what you were put here to do

You are enough

You were always enough

You were a good wife

A loving mother

A supportive friend

A hard worker

A person to be counted on

And with every bite of that bread

I will smile

With each buttered perfection I will breath in

My accomplishment

A life well-lived

and in the end

I will let out that breath and feel whole
