The Joy of Cooking

The Joy of Cooking 

Our daughter loves to cook

An interest held in common with her Dad

A long time craft for her

His honed in later years

Upon retirement

I love to see their heads bent over recipes

Chopping, stirring, baking

Or watching cooking shows

When we're vacationing together

And re-connect

Then off they go for groceries

To create their perfect menu

While I observe with joy -

One eye in my book

The other on my writing pad

Snapping word pictures 

To tuck into my heart

And carry home with me

An aroma sweet and wonderful 

As each delicious meal
