L is for Love Letters

L is for love letters
To all the things that make life better

A love letter to people that triple text good news
The energy from people who never hit snooze

A love letter to ordering from the kid’s menu
To the happy couple with the best wedding venue

A love letter to my younger self at sleepaway camp
Eating spaghetti noodles like Lady and the Tramp

A love letter to jamming in my car
Wondering if it’s illegal to drive and air guitar

A love letter to my mom’s homemade food
And anything my dad has ever barbecued

A love letter to teacher workdays
It’s God’s gift of an extra Sunday

A love letter to the extra chicken nugget
And building sandcastles with that green plastic bucket

A lover letter to chocolate milkshakes
Waking up on your birthday to nothing bundt cakes

A love letter to the texas state fair
And the feeling when my sister braids my hair

A love letter to when you feel your best
Or when you ace that impossible test

A love letter to a nice cold glass of wine
Hitting the winning shot from behind the baseline

A love letter to extra-long card games
Replacing pictures in your favorite frames

A love letter honestly goes next to me
For being myself unapologetically
