"The person who we are; the person who we carve
All depends upon what we feed and what we starve."
~ Artsieladie Quote 
"Stew Of Life" Think of your life as a delicious stew or sauce, The more you keep it cooking, the less you'll want to toss, If you're adding ingredients, character delicious And for your soul, spiritually nutritious. You will relish its flavour more, through and through, The more you keep it cooking, the more you stir your stew. The better it becomes, the better sauce you'll make, If you keep your Stew Of Life cooking, barring any fake. Ingredients added to your pot, keep adding to restore, Things not to be forgot, like Love, kindness, more. Ingredients to omit, so your stew gets bitter not, Are hate, resentment, jealousy kept out of your pot. It's important, too, to keep your flame adjusted Stirring at a simmer, parts won't then get crusted. Neither will your stew scorch, on the bottom, burn, If you remember to keep giving your stew another turn. Your stew will then be tasty, inviting, and delicious; Your stew will warm hearts, be sustaining and nutritious. Create your own blend, one that others cannot clone, For you want your stew to be unique and all your own. How you treat others' hearts, what you add to your stew, Speaks in volumes unabridged, the unique dish of you. Whether to be savoured or a flavour to refuse, It's all up to you by the ingredients that you use. Written by Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly ©2018-09-30 17:53:00 (EDT) All rights reserved.
