Ingredients

born with clean slate
life a recipe
depends on the blending?

Inspired to write this after reading
Richard Lamoureux poem 'Seeker'
Ironic the form i use is also
his invention.

Yes, we must blend with the right ingredients. Of course “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Only a savior will do to provide us with our own unique recipe for life. God bless ya, Harry!

WoW! Harry, Richard’s poem inspired you to write a deep and thought-provoking poem. In my opinion, it's family and the “village.” Well done :-) Alexis

Of course! I believe it depends on blending. Parents, family members have a big role to play
