Something about pie
So ancient and eternal
Bringing us together
Difference set aside,
at least for a moment.
Everyone knows pie
Early and late;
In hearth and home
Growing up in the kitchen
A roomful of anticipation,
Bringing memories
Of friends and family.
In its sharing
The nature of pie
Brings out the best;
In the pie
and in ourselves.
Some things we have
Surround us and speak
Of simpler times,
Reminding us when
The seeds of conflict
Gave way to care.
