Soup by Barry Louis Polisar
Life, they say, is sometimes tough replete with cheats and painful stuff, coughs and colds, or a hacking croup, but don’ t forget, there is always soup.
It warms our chills, comforts pains, soothing aches and ills. Man complains through the ages, but sages knew the value of broth and hearty stew.
There are things that should amaze us, even on the darkest days. For gardens grow, flower and yield bounty for our pots in plot and field.
So make soup and we’ ll take stock, praising every tureen and crock. And like the miracle each spring, know there’ s something sacred in this thing.
