poem of the day December 4 

Understanding

Absorbing 

The grand healing power 

of holiday food cooking

The smells as 

house and family

wait in anticipation

for a satisfying feast

The mixing of 

savior and sweet

Pies cooling 

Roast beasting 

Potatoes mashing

Bean casseroling 

Cookies cooking

5 golden things

These favorite recipes 

sometimes handed

down for generations

bring forth deep love

that can overtake

the senses in ways

to calm even most  

cluttered soul allowing 

peace on earth

good will to men
