Recipe For Love
I was going through the motions,
Just doing what I see;
My identity was constructed
From what I saw on TV
I was immature before
You opened me up to see
A life much fuller
Than I ever thought it could be.
You taught me to make love,
And not the birds and the bees..
Love is much greater that sex
And much harder to achieve
What it takes to make it
Is such a simple recipe,
But it just takes a little time
To grow the ingredients you need
First, it takes being kind,
And much patience, indeed,
Next, it takes weeding out
All the selfishness and greed
Then, you must implant the trust,
Which is the most important seed;
It takes so much to develop,
Yet, it dies so easily…
Now, after you’ve grown your harvest,
It’s finally time to reap,
And enjoy what you created -
A fresh, organic masterpiece
Containing nothing bitter,
Always a pleasant thing to eat,
Always easy to digest,
Leading to a peaceful sleep
Love always leads to satisfaction,
Making whole and complete,
Not empty like the hungry soul,
Who thinks sour is sweet...
