Recipe For Love

Take a pinch of humor
And a cup of kindness
Mix in your heart with
Just a bit of blindness.

Be liberal with understanding
And conservative with self
(Or you could just leave that big old box
Back up on the shelf).

Add a dash of compassion,
And three tablespoons of care.
Don't forget the attention,
So you'll know if she did something with her hair.


Don't skimp on the patience;
Add Yes Dear, and some No Dear too.
And once it's all mixed,
Make it a part of you.
