A Recipe of Love

Woven into the fibers of every rug
   Burnished in the grains of hardwood floors
Shining in the panes of sunlit windows
   Carved into great oaken doors   

Gleaming in newly polished silver chalice
   A recipe of love, a woman's dearest wish
In the pride of her kitchen, aglow on each utensil
   Baked into her every dinner's dish

Beautiful my friend. Indeed they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and it take a very special woman to accomplish that. Sounds like you have found one and that makes you special.

My husband is the kitchen meister at our house. I feel I am forty years ahead of him, and he likes taking his turn. His wish is for a clean everything, yet, does he like to clean? No! It is nice to take pride in things. This poem reflects that in a great way.
