A Hearty Broth

A hearty bowl of chicken soup was set before the lad at a delicate, tender age by his doting mom and dad Into the thick broth the lad plunged his spoon Hot steam rose up raced through the room The lad inhaled his face turned bright The soup was warmer than the light Which filled the room as the lad he ate the hearty broth that love creates

Mike, end the envy! (lol). The ideas that I am 'brimming with' all come to me courtesy of the fedora 'with a brim' that I wear. The ideas leap off of the brim, and by osmosis, a few manage to bore their way through my thick skull. See, you're just a fedora away from a brimful of ideas. lol. Thanks, Gershon

Hi Gershon, It's been kinda chilly, and I could use a hearty bowl of chicken soup. A nice bowl of chicken soup soothes the soul. I enjoyed the read. Have a great evening:-) Alexis
