Good food can make you cheerful,

Especially if it’s good for you,

A little lemon juice,

A bit of spice,

Saffron or jasmine in the rice,

Delicious vegetables ripened in the sun.

And eating good food 

With a good person 

Can make you cheerful, too.

A smile between bites,

An apple of your eye delights 

And can ripen your disposition.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Come play with me

When you can.

Let me make you something to eat

Out here ‘neath the sun

On this strand of beach 

That we share with each other 

And with the sands of love and time.
