Life In a Cake

To make a good cake,
one has to use the right
ingredients to make it
tasty, shapely and attractive
to look at

One has to mix the different
ingredients at different stages,
in order to have the right texture

Finally, one has to put the cake
in the oven, and bake
it at the right temperatures
at a specified time interval

Just like making a cake,
we ought to make the right choices,
in order to make our lives pleasant and peaceful

We ought to go one step at a time
in the choices we make,
in order to have a balanced life

To have a successful life,
we ought to have patience,
and right spirit of persistence

A successful life and a well-baked cake
in the end depend on the choices we make
at every stage
