Sentimental Self-Care

Sentimental Self-Care
I remember a friend who told me she was sick.
I made her chicken soup and brought her Sprite.
Her fever had her. She was shivering and cold.

I brought it too her bed and left it there.

Today I did house cleaning and vacuuming.
I made myself chicken soup and lavender tea.
I watched some sentimental reminders.

The soup just wasn’t enough like I’d remembered Campbells.
It was clumps with no chicken and no noodles. Like a water base.

I had to add chicken ramen noodles, I enjoyed the ramen seasoning too,
butter and Italian seasoning.
A bit of milk.

Then I sat on the couch and noticed how it tasted just right.

I miss my friend, but my heart never loses my love.
