Morning Coffee

The “girls” who brew the morning coffee,
Have been a presence in my life
That I have taken for granted far too long.

My buddy Andy has past,
And the split, delicious, chocolate cookie now belongs to
Diana, our dogs (Rosie, Doobie) and me.

If Aida, Karina, Lupe, Mary and Pattie,
The Starbuck “baristas”, who greet me as an old friend
When I confirm our coffee and cookie order,
Were to vanish, they would take with them
The joy their smiles and morning exasperations
Bring to my day.
