The Kettle Of Grace

Collaboration with Rossen

Like a kettle with a hole
pouring out his poor soul

--------------------------------------

"choose me, it's my
time give me a
chance to feed the
ones most in need"

faces of those who reflect in my shine

the weary and worn
the hungry and lost

a bowl for my friend who needs me again

-----------------------------------------------------------

in the early morning glow
the sprinkling of onion,
celery, bay leaf and spices
bring the soup kitchen to life

shiny bell peppers, garlic,
and okra, tomatoes and seared brown chicken
sausage and shrimp

the lunch lines shuffles
smells of heaven waft
to these hungry souls
today's soup

Cajun Gumbo

the steam rolled higher today ,
sending sweet aromas far over
this place

thanks to a small hole
in the kettle of grace

last ladle cries for
soup and a warm belly...

Author's Note

I think Jane, a poem of mine inspired Rossen and myself to write this
So many Janes and Johns need our help
"I get by with a little help from my friends"



Peace and love to ALL

“the weary and worn

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A tasty little recipe you two cooked up... a fun poem but I think it makes a great point... even those who spend their lives helping others need hep on occasion too.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Very heart warming poem. well written between the two.
