Recipe For Love

Just a pinch of commitment
And a sprinkle of trust
Are the first two ingredients
Then stir out the lust

Add a tablespoon of honesty
With just a dash of your heart
It has to simmer on low
Before the passion will start

Add two cups of affection
And a teaspoon of soul
Then turn up the heat
Til it really starts to glow

Now add some compassion
All you can spare
For this ingredient's a must
To show them you care

Add a smidgen of friendship
So it won't be contrasting
Stir slowly til finished
To make everlasting

These are the ingredients
That were sent from above
So try it yourself
This Recipe for love
