You can taste
        the difference
            a pinch of salt makes

    The hidden flavors
        in the food
            emerge

    My father
        gave me a word of
            praise once

    It still lies within;
        When I taste it
            I try to do better

    Give a horse
        a lump of sugar
            he’ll jump through hoops

    Think of the power
        of a kind word;
            it can change
                a life
