Kindness and 
A tablespoon of tenderness
Reside in
These jars of
Homemade strawberry jam...

Unless you stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter
Add a little chocolate syrup
And three giant spoons full of brown sugar.
Then it is exactly like yours
Except I sneak in more sugar....

1 tablespoon of joy and love mixed

And just a pinch of desperation...

Blackstrap molasses I drink every day.
I've learned it holds anemia at bay.
One tablespoon quick stirred up
with almond milk (a scant cup)
makes my red blood cells cheer. Hip hip hooray!

Key lime pie withdrawal
Not as easy as it sounds
Especially if you are totally addicted.

I can walk past pumpkin all day long
And not dig into it with a tablespoon.
If it has whipped cream, I might take a bite.

Who am I kidding? 
Let’s put it where it lives.

If it has sugar, it is mine.
And get out of the way!...

A cup of attraction
Eye to eye distraction 
A1/2- cup forgiveness 
A tablespoon of blissfulness 
A great heap of tolerance 
A dash of a romantic dance 
A 1 cup of compromise
A cup of respect 
A bowl for the loving affect 
2 cups of family holidays 
A week to recover from the haze 
A ¼ cup of dinner and a movie 
A new box spring and mattress 
How groovy
Mix it all together with a splash of tears 
And your marriage will be 
Happy for years!...
