Savory Promise
In the kitchen where aromas blend,
I stand by you, my love, no end.
With every dish, a story told,
In flavors rich and love so bold.
Let’s start with adobo, savory and sweet,
A dance of tastes that can't be beat.
With garlic’s kiss and soy’s embrace,
In every bite, I see your grace.
Menudo simmers, heartily,
With chunks of pork so tenderly.
Tomatoes, liver, spices fine,
In every spoonful, you're divine.
Kaldereta, a festive treat,
With peppers, beef, and sauce complete.
Potatoes soft, with carrots bright,
Cooking this with you feels right.
Nilaga warms the soul and heart,
With cabbage, corn, and meaty parts.
The broth so clear, with marrow’s hue,
It’s comfort shared, just me and you.
But your favorite, oh sinigang,
Tamarind's tang, in which you sang.
With radish, greens, and tender ribs,
A symphony of love, it gives.
Through every chop and every stir,
In laughter shared, I’m sure of her.
Together, we create with flair,
A banquet rich with love and care.
So know, my love, in every way,
I’m here to help and here to stay.
In every dish, a promise true,
I’ll cook and laugh and live with you.
