The Ingredients are simple
if you know where to find them
You need not take a trip to the market
When done, We'll have a soul...
Finely chop
all the heartbreak
of painful memories
Dice some happiness
for extra flavor
A dash of hope
To remove the bitters
A pinch of trust to
hold it all together
Add a heaping handful
of passion - to stay true
to what you believe in
Mince some truth
No matter how tough the skin is
(use a food processor if needed)
Add solitude to taste
To remind you how precious
company can be
(this can also help you reflect
and offer honorable lessons)
The hardest ingredient for a soul to find
hasn't got a price
It's forgiveness
A few spoonfulls will work wonders, to balance
the texture..ensuring a perfect consistency everytime
Mix well
don't wory of getting messy
use your hands
dig in
this will ensure all the ingredients
take to one another
the end result
is a perfect soul
everytime..
*Feel free to play with the ingredients
**Additional flavors can be added for originality
