Love That Keeps Adapting
Today he finishes her lemon drizzle cake,
not because she can’t,
but because love has always been
the quiet clearing‑up after puddings.
Her wheelchair waits by the table,
a new geography
they learned to navigate together.
In the tearoom,
Dad and Lu lift the baby‑changing table,
making a path where none was offered.
Love becomes a small act of arrangement:
making space in a world otherwise inaccessible.
Later, Mum is wheeled back,
assisted to a comfortable place
to rest after a small, sugary adventure.
Tomorrow is their anniversary.
They are on a journey without a map,
but with many milestones
and a promise…
We will make space for each other, again and again,
however the world rearranges itself.
