You cook vegetable soup <br />and I look at you <br />while you cut green beans, <br />carrots, onions, celery, parsley <br />and tomatoes into two pots. <br /> <br />There are herbs, spices <br />and pepper that you are scattering <br />and two types of soup powder <br />that you throw in <br />and the pots steam and buzz <br />while I am washing the dishes <br />and the smell <br />makes me hungry <br />and I wonder <br />if the soup <br />are going to taste as good <br />as it smells. <br /> <br />We drink tee <br />and there’s medicine <br />that you give for flu <br />to me <br />and it’s great <br />to be with you <br />to read the look <br />in your beautiful eyes.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-cook-vegetable-soup/
