It was five in the evening,
When I got home from work.
I directly went to the kitchen
Get some cake that is so mouth watering.

Now, you have understood that I was hungry
I am like that, every time I'm home
After eating, I washed the plate carefully
And settled myself in my room

Sitting in my bed
And make myself busy with my laptop
After an hour past
I did realize, drinking water I forgot

Decided to go down
And guess what I found?
Oh dear, my eyes turned into zero frown
Our oven turned to be a smoking oven around

The food gets burned!
And I wonder who heated the food?
Since we are only four in the house
I texted everyone for good.

Prepare the burned food in the clean plate
Decorated with some carrots
To make it look delicious meal crave
Put on the table and I'm sure it gets attracted with some parrots.

My texts were this:
"Please come in the dining, dinner is ready."
I was sitting alone
And everyone came with ease

They stop at where they were
All eyes in the food
I looked with our cook and she shook her head
I looked with my sis and returned to me the same look

I knew at that moment then
Who put the food in the oven
Lastly, I looked with Mom
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot them!"

Hugged my Mom so tightly
With much love, so tenderly
"It's okay, Mom, you must be tired"
Exactly, the food I ordered came

We ate together with laughter
Because of how I decorated the burned food
With the message
"I found this in the smoking oven."

No need to be mad or get angry easily because of small things. There is so much in life, all we have to do is recreate our own perception and how we look at things positively. No need to shout, no need to destroy the relationship. Understanding and a heart full of love that we needed. I love my family.
