Bread of Life Valentine

Aren't we always finding new elements
To add to the recipe of the earth
The countless ingredients that must be there
If we want it to turn out right
After all that mixing and stirring
Kneading and freezing and testing
Until each ion finds its place
And settles in for the duration
Into a sumptuous being
Aware of its limitations
Yet driven to be worthy
Enough of what it wants
To taste good and be
Good for you and me
