Secrets in the Recipe Box
In flour dust and spoon's clink,
Old tales stir more than we think.
Each recipe, a chapter told,
Mom's wisdom, folded, does unfold.
Her laughter seasons every dish,
In her hands, love's timeless wish.

Steps I take, path winds and parts,

Guided by love, though you're not here.
