A Morning Of Conversations.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

A morning of conversations....

I want to let you taste something,
also to those crooks

you know it right:
I am a chef
and all the others of my acquaintances,
who are not yet familiar with my cooking
can explore my kitchen domain,
a true dream for every kitchen princess,
but I am not one like that,
I did buy all the modern and luxurious equipment,
for my convenience,
but I'm not one who spends all day thinking about cooking
or what we want to eat tonight?
No, not all of that!

oh, I thought you were an evangelist?

I am also,
but especially CHEF cook,

all my life I have cooked with love,

but that doesn't make you a CHEF?

Of course, nothing is more important and decisive
than to have learned and learn from Life
and cooking is also to have learned how it tastes good,
that is just from life,
the real life,
and of love,

I cook with love,

and learned a lot from my dear mom
who really is a CHEF!

My mother cooks anything,
can literally do anything,
and with perfectionism!

first she worked whole days at a dentist,
her teeth are so intact, it looks like she has a prosthesis,

they are really her own teeth,
from all of us too, but from my mother,
she has the best teeth,
and when she smiles,
she's like a movie star
it is so beautiful
in combination with her face,

but I have to admit:
she's a beautiful woman,
a real upper class lady,
not like Grace Kelly aka Princess Gracia de Gerimaldi,
no, my mother is descended
from a real princess,
so you too?
Yes, I sometimes mention
that in my poems,

now again about love? !

Yes, of life and of love,
I mean to learn from life
and from Love
just out of life....

what was I talking about again? !

About good food

about my delicious dishes
prepared with love....

see you tonight at our dinner, ok?

I thank you Lord Almighty,
for this beautiful morning
and for all the things today
that are still to come,
guide me in all my duty today,
I say this in the name of Jesus,
my saviour, amen
