The Ndolo Recipe

Take a little bit of me
And a little bit of you.
Add an entire decade,
And all that we've been through
 
2 Cups of loyalty
generously sprinkled with trust
A pinch of forgiveness
And laughter is a must
 
Blend a smile, a kiss and
Holding each other's hands
Add this all together
Between a man and a woman
 
Stir in two hearts
Sprinkled with adoration
Stir it all together
And you get a good foundation for Love.
 
By Julia Mukete
