The Humble Potato
A Versatile Treasure of the Earth
In the heart of fertile soils, a treasure lies,
A gift from nature, humble and wise,
A potato, unassuming and plain,
Yet, a culinary canvas, ready to reign.
Beneath the ground, its journey starts,
From sprouting eyes, life imparts,
With gentle care, it thrives and grows,
A marvel of sustenance that nature bestows.
Roasted, mashed, or in a stew,
Its versatility, tried and true,
In every kitchen, it finds a place,
A smile on every hungry face.
Fries, golden and crisp, they gleam,
A comfort food, a delightful dream,
Potato chips, a crunchy pleasure,
In every bite, a taste to treasure.
But beyond the table, it holds more worth,
A symbol of resilience since its birth,
Through wars and famine, it stood strong,
A beacon of hope when things went wrong.
So, let's cherish the potato, simple and grand,
A culinary marvel, across the land,
With gratitude, we celebrate its grace,
A humble spud, our world's embrace.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
