Recipe for Love
Start with a dash of subtle
warmth,
And a sprinkle of pure caring,
Add a pinch of sacrifice
And a hint of true courage.
Pour in an ounce of affection
And a spoonful of commitment.
Hopefulness and faith
Add in large amounts.
A drop of honesty
And a bit of compromise, too
Mix plenty of acceptance
That must not ever perish.
Several grams of patience,
Closeness in ounces, too.
Beat through remnants of boastfulness,
Jealousy and deceit.
Expel all prejudice,
And lumps of pride.
Combine ingredients in a bowl
Larger than the universe.
You’ll know when the dish
is completed well and done,
When it brightens the dark of
day, lightens
the heart of black.
Never let it cool, and
Serve with generosity
To everyone you know.
Share it with the world,
And never limit portions
Let them come for seconds,
And serving shall never falter,
For never is there enough.
