Where emotions rise and souls fill,
Those satisfying moments that give you thrill.
Sometimes used to convey a message or two,
Giving that sense of contentment through and through.

A sense of joy and pride for its creators
Perfect portrayals or possible indicators.
Revealing the people and places that have inspired,
To help build this creation and show what’s desired.
To share life’s experiences is a common want,
Creating an impression in big bold font!

From simple to complex the food may range,
Some being familiar and some just outright strange!
An easy combination of ingredients that are few,
But never ending steps for some, leading up to a bijou.
Fine dine, simple, or around-the-bend places there are,
All having a common goal that ain’t too bizarre.

What can be seen is cohesion amongst them all,
Tremendous efforts put into answering the call.
Delivering to the daily demands there may be,
Using dedicated serving and constant innovation as the key.
A medium that is often most resorted to,
Helping fill those cravings or sometimes just to make do.

Finally, what is it that we expect to be done by food?
Just provide nourishment? or have memories renewed?!
Well, whatever be the reason for you to sit down and eat,
There’s always hope, that a missing part it will complete.
