Soul Food

Your excitement builds,

As you craft with your hands,

A meal for me-

One dear to your heart,

One that I've come to love.


You taste along the way,

Adding the ingredients slowly-

Letting it simmer.


I help by cutting the cucumbers and tomatoes,

A small, yet meaningful gesture. 

I gently grace your back with my hand as you walk by,

And give you looks that only you can decipher-

You smile.


Egyptian bread on the side,

It's ready,

Fūl,

Made by you,

For me


I can taste the love as I nourish my body,

As you nourish my soul,

Such a small act, yet a big display of your affection.

My adoration grows.
