Cooking in Your Honor

Morning light breaks my silence, heavy with memories anew

Cooking for a cause, but my heart's heavy too

Bacon sizzling, tears falling in silent hues

Cooking in your honor, bro, what else can I do?

Pulling out the ingredients, each one whispers your name

Every chop and stir, I feel the ache without shame

Little pieces of bacon, breaking apart with tears

Thoughts of your laughter, echoing through the years

You loved my macaroni, your eyes would light with glee

Breakfast burritos, lasagna, you’d always share with me

Now I stand here alone, but your love's in every dish

Cooking in your honor, I cherish every wish

I won’t give up, I’ll keep cooking your favorite meals

In every flavor, your spirit’s what I feel

Through the tears and the sadness, your memory’s alive

Cooking in your honor, brother, I survive

Gumbo on the stove, I see your mischievous grin

You’d steal a spoonful, just to make me grin again

This kitchen’s our sanctuary, even in the pain

In your memory, I cook, and I love in your name

Though you're gone, in every meal, your love remains

Cooking in your honor, through joy and through pain

Brothers in spirit, forever bound by love

In every dish I make, I send my hope above
