The Blessing of Beef and Noodle Soup
On cold, harsh winter days
When the western wind howls
And gains a fierce biting edge
Whipping the falling snow around
It’s so much warmer to stay inside
And watch the slow snow fall
Blowing on my hot spoonful
My steaming bowl of udon noodles
I drink comfort, slurp satisfaction
My body radiates invigorating warmth
Rich spices come together
Synergized in slow brewed broth
Hand stretched egg noodles,
Made the old way with love and tradition
I can taste the care and hard work
Praise a meal done right
Potatoes, carrots, scallions, tomatoes
Evoke a past autumn harvest
Slow stewed hearty beef
Makes for red chili burps
My chopsticks lift the noodles
Out of the golden soup, my tongue
Savors the burst of flavors, warmth
Seeping through bone into soul
