“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”

I appreciate the warmth from the family

The heartfelt cuddles and food on the table

No pressure, just being thoughtful when we’re able

Adobo, pancit, menudo and apples like bramley

Adding spices like garlic, onions, thyme and rosemary

Food glorious food and laughter on the roundtable

I appreciate the warmth from the family

The heartfelt cuddles and food on the table

Bound us all loyally with musicality

Fish to fry and soup with the ladle

Baguette, pan de sal as well as bagel

Defender of our faith and love actually

I appreciate the warmth from the family*
