Tortilla Soup for the Mexican's Soul
Tortilla soup...well it's a combo of things
chicken, tomatoes, and garlic and such
Don't think about the human condition so much
but more the soul that lives within
made out of love
the soup is hot
don't despair Mexican or not
this soup will hit the spot
Philosophies are shared at the table
Expressions of the soul
and no campbell's label
A heart's desire will be uncovered
The soul within can be discovered
made from scratch
you cannot compare
this soup of culture
any likeness is rare
A Mexican's soul is beautiful
especially through breaking bread
it's why it is so special
The soul that's there can be read
Tortilla soup, is a warming sensation.
It brings out the heart's vibration.
calming you'll feel
it's a great hearty meal
Slow is the process,
but you'll appreciate the patience.
Upon tasting... bring it to your lips
You'll find it doesn't matter...
you find color only in the spoon you dip
As you bow your head to take a sip
Welcomed despite only a humble abode
You'll see you too have a Mexican's soul.
