Bitterness And Love: A Culinary Tale

In the realm of tastes, where worlds collide,

A tale of bitter, love, and pride,

Mom's culinary artistry, precise,

Bitterness served on plates of life's advice.

With a seasoned hand and knowing eyes,

She cooked with love, a grand surprise,

Bitter morsels, a riddle to decode,

In each, a lesson, on life's winding road.

As children, we, in protest, turned,

From bitter bites, our faces spurned,

Yet Mom, unwavering, held her ground,

In bitter's depths, her love was found.

Her kitchen, a canvas, colors and hues,

Bitter and sweet, an artist's muse,

She blended flavors, a chef supreme,

In bitterness, she wove her dream.

Bitter herbs in soups and stews,

Reminding us of paths we'd choose,

To stand strong, even when life's a test,

Bitter's resilience, Mom's love expressed.

In maturity's grace, we finally see,

The love behind each culinary decree,

For bitter's taste, a metaphor profound,

Of life's complexities, wisdom unbound.

Now, with gratitude, we take a bite,

Of life's lessons, both bitter and bright,

For Mom's love, in every dish, we find,

A taste of wisdom, forever intertwined.
