Bread In The Oven Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

Day after day the rising sun sets leaving us lessons for tomorrow
If you live long enough to watch the flame dull you will learn of the process
Mix the dough with yeast just like the season mix the wheat and chaff
All through time yields in time as you wait in the process to make something worth

Through life and the unfolding of it, you wake up to realize some ingredients missing
You strive for a perfect bake to make something out of your life
To add some sugar and icing for those around you that you love
Every day you realize that the right mix of everything will never add up

The lessons are clear, make your bread to your own taste and liking
It might never be perfect but the time and dedication will eventually make it worth
It times time for full formation of anything in life we pursue
We know it but yet we want to rush through life, pause and let the bread bake.
