Chocolate

In the beginning, God created Adam

Then he created Eve

For it is not good for man to be alone

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth

and the cocoa bean

because he knew how hard life could be

And he saw that it was good

So good, that he made different flavors

Dark, Milk, White

For it is not good for man to be alone

There are things essential for the body

Food, Shelter, Clothing

But how about the things essential for the heart

No one speaks of the necessities of the heart

Love, peace, joy

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

In the beginning, God looked over the darkness

And said, “Let there be light”

And there was chocolate

For it is not good for man to be alone

The smooth, silky texture

The delicious, decadent taste

Your heart thanks you

Because it’s the little things in life that count

1,2,3 pieces of chocolate

4 me

5, 6,7 pieces

I just 8

9, 10, 1100

Well, let’s not count calories

But instead

The bliss of a kiss

The flight on the wings of dove

To be nestled nesquickly in the cold of the winter

Curled up by the fireplace so that you’re warm inside and out

Water to the body

Is chocolate to the heart

Pumping love

Instead of blood

To every last inch

Through the length of your fingertips

The chip to my cookie

The taste in my milk

The blanket to my pretzel

The needle in the haystack of trail mix

A piece of peace

Peace I leave with you

My peace I give you

Do not let your hearts be troubled

If loving chocolate is wrong

Then I don’t want to be right

Chocolate is patient                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Chocolate is kind

Chocolate is not rude

Chocolate is not self-seeking

Chocolate protects, trusts, hopes, preserves

Chocolate is love

For it is not good for man to be alone
