Remember the story, “Stone Soup”? Neighbors shared food that they had. Carrots, cabbage, beans, peppers, Enough soup for all prepared. Plant thoughts for food abundance. Imagine zero world hunger. Wholesome meals grace all tables One mind, same goal, we’re stronger. Spirit-cousins band as one; Repast so others eat and live. Fruits, veggies cross distant seas. Our grateful hands freely give. Zero world hunger’s possible. We are the “Stone Soup” tale. Bring bread to the world’s table. Global unity never fails.
