Grain of flour, oh humble dust
Tiny speck, with power to adjust
A mere millimeter, in its size
But its presence, oh how it ties
Ties the dough, into one
Ties the batter, until it's done
Ties the flavors, with its embrace
Transforming, with its grace
Gracefully blending, with each ingredient
A pinch of salt, a dash of excitement
The grain of flour, silently awaits
To mix and merge, fulfilling its fates
Fates that can change, with just a touch
A sprinkle here, a sprinkle as such
Morphing the texture, oh so light
Creating a treat, a pure delight
Delightful aroma, filling the air
As the grain of flour, says a prayer
A prayer of dedication, to its craft
For without it, the bread would be daft
Daft in its structure, without a lift
Daft in its taste, without the sift
The grain of flour, knows its worth
In every bite, it brings forth
Forth in every loaf, every pie
The grain of flour, stands by
Whispering secrets, to the yeast
Guiding the dough, to the feast
Feasting on the sweet, the savory
The grain of flour, ever so merry
As it watches, from the sidelines
Its magic, in every bite one finds
Finds its way, into every recipe
The grain of flour, oh so key
Key to the perfect rise
Key to the perfect surprise
Surprises in every pastry, every cake
The grain of flour, never to forsake
Its duty, its purpose, its role
In the kitchen, it takes control
Controlling the outcome, with its might
The grain of flour, shining so bright
Invisible to the eye, yet always there
Adding love, to every layer
Layer upon layer, it builds the base
The grain of flour, with its grace
Weaving its way, through the dough
Creating a masterpiece, for us to show
Showing us its power, in each grain
The grain of flour, never in vain
For in its simplicity, lies its grandeur
A humble ingredient, with a magical allure
Grain of flour, oh how you amaze
In every dish, you leave your trace
So tiny, yet so mighty, you stand tall
A true artist, in one and all.
Grain of flour, we sing your praise
A staple in our lives, in so many ways
For without you, our meals would lack
The perfect texture, the perfect pack
Grain of flour, in every dish you bind
The flavors, the textures, oh how you shine
A simple grain, yet a crucial part
In creating culinary works of art.
So here's to you, grain of flour
In every kitchen, you hold the power
To transform, to enhance, to elevate
We thank you, for all that you create.
