LOVE AND NOURISHMENT

Corned fish and cattle-tongue dumplings

cooking in the pot.

Singing a song of love and nourishment.

Hands bakin’ cassava bread,

gratin’ coconut and sweet potato,

grindin’, kneadin’, churnin’ and turnin’.

Food coming from the hands of good-natured people,

prepared with devotion

to make good bodies, to embellish the soul.
