serving hospitality – v2

Love on the menu
each of you, your kitchens
the bounty of your tables
serving hospitality
not just the meals

Opening your hearts to us
those whom you love
thinking of you, the smells,
the taste of the banquet
you always prepared

The love of your touch
your hearts, your kitchens
your smiles over me
the certainty of your love
within your homes
