Spiteful spats,

Late-night chats,

Dates and social dining,

Helping each other find the silver lining.

Games of footsie and food fights,

Family gatherings, love at first sight,

Burning the midnight oil,

Heaps of homework and toil.

Birthday teas,

More food, please!

Speaking our mind,

Cooking, the messy kind!

Together, simply enjoying a meal,

Acknowledging how we feel,

Catching up on each other's day,

All the time if I had my way.

A den, a cave, a hiding place,

A safe and happy place,

No need to save face,

Let's continue life around our table,

Crazy and content, for as long as we're able.
