Feast on memories

Food is not merely about hunger's call,
But the memories that food can enthrall.
The taste of mother's homemade bread,
Warm and comforting, a soul's daily thread.
The aroma of grandmother's soup, simmering,
Filling the kitchen with love, memories spread.

Father's grilling prowess, a skill so fine,
Perfectly cooked steaks, flavors divine.
And the joy of gathering, loved ones in tow,
Sharing a meal together, hearts all aglow.
Food holds more than sustenance alone,
It’s about connections, the loved ones you know

A way to create memories, forever to last,
Nourishing both body and soul, an intricate cast.
So let not mundane overshadow you when you eat,
For it's a fundamental desire we all greet.
It’s a time machine, a feast of memories.
It’s a time to celebrate, It’s a time to meet.

Amidst the consumption, pause and reflect,
Savor the moments, each taste and aspect.
Food is a connection, a bridge to our past,
An embrace of heritage that forever will last.
So fill the hollow inside, with nourishment,
memories of family and friends, steadfast.
