Recipe for Life

A dash of humour,

Is a spice I adore.

Curiosity of course,

Of that I want more.

 

Compassion and tolerance,

Are vital I trust.

To properly season,

This stew we discussed.

 

You’re not done yet,

There is still more to learn.

Keep stirring I pray,

And don’t let it burn!

 

Next add a pinch,

No more and no less.

Confidence is needed,

To this I confess.

 

Kindness goes in,

And generosity too.

We always need manners,

And not just a few!

 

Honour and honesty,

Are herbs for this pot.

Perhaps some wisdom,

I’m not asking a lot.

 

Next sprinkle the top,

With a generous amount.

A smile is important,

On that you can count.

 

Now let it simmer,

And cook all the way.

The ingredients must meld,

For many a day.

 

Too many cooks,

Can spoil a good broth.

So just let it bubble,

Away from the cloth.

 

The day will come soon,

When the recipe is done.

And serving the stew,

Is when life has begun.
