I cook and I cooked
"I Cook, and I Cooked"
Flames dance high, pots simmer low
Aromas waft, as passions grow
I cook, and I cooked, through the years
Love served hot, through laughter and tears
I. Kitchen Rhythms
Chop, dice, sauté, the beat begins
Sizzling onions, garlic's sweet kin
Spices blend, flavors intertwine
A symphony, to please the divine
II. Feeding Souls
Nourishment for body, and heart's core
Comfort food, to soothe and restore
I cook, and I cooked, for those I adore
Sharing love, through every dish explored
III. Memories Made
Sunday roasts, holiday feasts
Family gatherings, warmest of treats
I cook, and I cooked, through life's stages
Creating traditions, in savory pages
IV. Experimentation
New recipes tried, flavors unfurled
Culinary journeys, to unknown worlds
I cook, and I cooked, with curiosity's spark
Discovering delights, in every culinary mark
V. Love Served
Every dish, a labor of love
A pinch of heart, sent from above
I cook, and I cooked, to bring cheer
Serving warmth, and banishing fear
VI. Legacy
Recipes passed, down through the line
Family secrets, forever divine
I cook, and I cooked, to leave behind
A taste of love, forever intertwined.
