My family has served in the kitchen at our local homeless shelter -- no finer meal then sitting down with hungry souls.

Hi David...lovely to have you visiting! I totally agree with your second line. I was thinking of the needy and homeless when I wrote this short poem; I felt that talking about food was the right opportunity to pass on a little message. Glad you picked it up. ~ All the best my friend. // paul
