Blended Family Recipe

Put a man who is wholesome
into a mixing pan.
Combine one loving woman 
and blend well with the man.

Add the children of the man,
and the woman’s children too.
Mix them all together
as you would a pot of stew.

You’ll want to add some patience.
It will help the taste a lot.
If you’re not sure how much,
just throw in all you’ve got.

Then, six cups of sweetener
and fourteen cups of love.
Sprinkle in some blessings
from the heavens high above.

When the mixture is complete
with great joy you will see,
the creation of an awesome,
loving blended family.
