Food that mama left in uncovered pots
She smiled and tried to add some more
my plate was slow she deserved to know
I hoped and wished to stay for more
her hands were full of gifts to give
I know she keeps her rhythm in debt
to love and heal our scruffy days
Bless her cooking and bless her smile
A gift in Makeni to a priest in love
