My Favorite Foods
I can eat my favorite breakfast alone...
eggs cooked the way I’ve loved them all my life...
but breakfast always tastes a little better
when I eat...next to my wife.
I can eat my favorite lunch alone...
A Philly Cheesesteak that never ends...
but lunch always tastes a little better
when I’m eating it...with friends.
I can eat my favorite dinner alone...
A steak and potato cooked just for me...
but dinner always tastes a little better
when I eat...with my family.
I can eat cake on my birthday alone...
I can sing happy birthday...sing my name...
but without people gathered ‘round me
that cake wouldn’t taste the same.
Yes, I can eat food by myself
and I know that I will thrive
but when I eat with friends and family
I know that I’m alive.
I once thought my taste buds decided my favorite foods
but perhaps that’s just a myth...
Perhaps what makes them my favorite foods....
is who I eat them with.
