Ode to Trader Joe’s

I need a store I can feel most at home.

A store where frozen foods don’t make me cold.

A place where I avoid the soapy foam…

From dirty dishes in my sink at home.

Oh Trader Joe’s, you feed more than my mouth.

My soul feels full with each and every snack.

I’m not like winter birds who fly due south.

I’m loyal to Trader Joe’s in colder months.

The smiling faces of the helpful staff…

At Trader Joe’s they make you feel so loved.

I eat a dill pickle chip and I laugh…

With dark chocolate peanut butter cups.

Thank you, Trader Joe’s for welcoming moms.

Anxiety disappears as Joe’s it calms.
