Life's recipe

Poem Commentary

I love to cook and bake. For most of my working career I worked in a small cafe. I enjoyed that job so much. It gave me an opportunity to create. I can't sing, dance, act, draw or play professional football. I can write though, which is my first love.
 
I wrote "Life's recipe" as a thought that food isn't always what we put in our mouths. Its about what we put in our minds and hearts.

I hope you enjoy it.

a caring soul

loads of compassion

plenty of inspiration

a ton of love

good insight

lots of smiles

a helping hand

a kindred spirit

loads of laughter

a shoulder to lean on

fondness for simple things

an open mind

a willingness for change

an avid imagination

appreciation for nature

a sense of awe

courage to overcome

strength to endure

a strong desire to achieve

a will to never give up

an attitude of gratitude

inward peace

a warm heart

rose colored glasses

What a great recipie.....wouldn't it be great if we could adopt all of these qualities! Some of us have some but not all. Thanks for sharing.

I would have said. trust completely...with eyes wide open. But regardless...It was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
