ONE SIMPLE RECIPE FOR LOVE
From the moment their life together originated
the recipe for their love was never complicated.
Through all their years together…
whatever they underwent…
the recipe they followed
had one main ingredient.
Whenever she felt she was falling…
those times she was too sad to laugh or sing…
he would put her on his shoulders
and share with her…his wings.
And he would whisper to her gently…
“We’ll get through this…I know we can.”
and she was happy not knowing where her wings ended
and…where his began
And whenever he felt he was falling…
when he thought he could no longer swim..
she would put him on her shoulders
and share her wings with him.
And she would whisper to him gently…
“We’ll get through this…I know we can.”
and he was happy now knowing where his wings ended
and…where hers began.
This one ingredient made the life they created…
peaceful, safe, enjoyable…and fun…
It’s amazing how we find our favorite recipes in life
are often the least complicated…
the simplest ones.
