Where is love found?

Is it in the apples

My mother sliced for me

Every afternoon

After school

With peanut butter on the side?

Is it in the sandwich

My father made for me

Lunch meat

Cheese

And white bread

With chips on the side?

Is it in the roast dinner

My grandmother made for me

Every Easter,

Thanksgiving,

And Christmas

With mashed potatoes

And gravy on the side?

Where is love found?

In the kitchen.

In the recipes

Passed down for generations

And ingredients

Chosen carefully

With love at the center

And napkins on the side.
