Getting the Recipe Right

     She kneaded and rolled it past midnight
        precisely added egg-white

     Yet she still didn’t get the recipe right
        ‘til she mixed love in with daylight

She changed her mind doing what she did as a chore, to adding the ingredient of love into the recipe and enjoying it. HUGS, Jennifer.

It truly is love that makes the recipe just right or the craft or one’s life! Hugs

Without love, there's neither warmth nor satisfaction in the food.
