Soup for the soul



Hopelessness and helplessness,
Sickness of the Soul.
Unhealthy mindedness effecting young and old.

Warm a broth of tenderness,
A stew meant to oppose.
Like a mother’s bowl of helpfulness,
All brewed up in a bowl.

Indulge yourself with nutrients,
A prescription for us all.
Vitamins and Nutrients,
Measured for the cause.

Sustenance and encouragement,
Remedies above all.
Healthy mindfulness correcting all our flaws.
