The weight of life upon me sits

At times I want to call it quits.

Life is hard; it’s truer than true.

But I have to see life through.

To feel good in spite of it all

When all of life just seems to fall.

It cannot be, life’s too much.

That is until...I find my lunch.

A treat, a sweet, a whole cake sheet.

A pie, a fry, some bread on rye.

Life is not at all that bad

With all the food we’ve all had.

I like food, I like it lots.

Be it raspberries or tater tots.

I eat in stress, I eat a mess,

It’s not the best, I guess, but I never eat less.

Food makes me smile, just like it should.

Food makes everything just plain good.
