If I could change the taste of regret
Its new flavour would be endeavour
from the bitter to the sweet
peace and healing forever.

If I could change the taste of defeat
Its new flavour would be learning
from the raw to the seasoned
with passion always burning.

If I could change the taste of anger
Its new flavour would be understanding
empathy taking each circumstance
from indigestible to appetizing

If I could change the taste of fear
Its new flavour would be security
Working through the nausea
To a state of bon apetit.

Taste is not just on the plate or palate
It's not just in tongue or lips
Its weight is in the heart and mind
Not just the tummy or hips!

Taste the food, taste the air
Taste everything around you
So many tastes to share
So much flavour surrounds you.

Taste with the senses
With the emotions
Taste with body and soul

Taste every morsel
Life has to offer
To make this experience whole.

Enjoy what is given at the table
Enjoy what is for all humankind
Enjoy things, enjoy intangibles
Be grateful for the joy you find!
