The Small Plate

I will light the candles.
I will play the music.
And still, I eat from the small plate.

I have the china.
I have the silverware.
And still, I eat from the small plate.

If absence makes the heart grow
Your presence makes it shrink.

I will prepare the meal.
I will cook the food.
And still, I eat from the small plate.

I will warm the water.
I will draw the bath.
And still, I eat from the small plate.

I will pack the china.
I will shine the silver.
I will no longer eat from the small plate.
