A Recipe of Love - Revised

Woven into the fibers of every rug
  Burnished in the grains of hardwood floors
Shining in the panes of sun-lit windows
  Carved in stately oaken doors

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