The Only True Recipe

If life is what we make it, then the recipe’s the key but few of us will live our life as it is meant to be For way back in the mists of time it was decreed on high that man would always rule the earth and never ever die But somewhere down the line a key ingredient is missed or maybe something added in that wasn’t on the list Could it be the method wasn’t followed to the letter perhaps this is the reason why our lives aren’t so much better Why do we crave ‘the good old days’ of innocence and youth have we not read the instructions and therefore lost the truth So crucial to the end result, the method we employ must suit the application or we will fail to enjoy The fruit of all our labours and our time on earth is wasted reflecting on what could have been as bitterness is tasted So guard your life – be sure it’s clean and keep your God in sight we have one life to practice on, and we must get it right If life is what we make it, then the recipe’s the key so check with the original – and follow carefully
