The Simple Things

It’s a bowl

A simple little bowl

Tonight, it held chili

Homemade chili

Something that hasn’t been made in over a year

It’s something that normally isn’t celebrated

Unless you’re someone who likes to cook

Unless you’re someone who likes to bake

And from scratch

And you haven’t had the opportunity to do so in a year

And today, the opportunity presented itself

So homemade chili was made

With plans for other things (like apple pie) in the not too distant future

Because sometimes the best things come in a bowl
