The Perfect Recipe

Take some patience and some time
Mix in trust and then combine
Heaps of Joy and tenderness
Don’t be shy with generous

Love and hope must also go
Take your time but don’t be slow
Use forgiveness, no regret 
Respect and friendliness, don’t forget

there’s no place for dishonesty 
frustration, rage or animosity
Just add prayer and humbleness
The end result - a life of bliss
