My Recipe For Life


A Poem by Debra Stevens Edwards (debby)

 

A recipe for a good life.

 

 

My Recipe For Life

 

Start with a fresh positive attitude,

Add 3 heaping table spoons of Gratitude,

 

Next 2 cups of pre-softened tolerance,

Add a dash of zest and exuberance,

 

Blend gently and throw in some yokes,

Add humor to taste and some old fashion jokes,

 

Add education and wisdom in equal parts,

And then this is the filling for these tarts,

 

Now it's time to make your crust,

Start with a generous cup of trust,

 

Add 3 cups of love, 1 cup forgiveness too,

The faith of a child, Make a good life for you.

 

Enjoy it...

You know reading this felt like a blessing in itself. This was a wonderful poem and a wonderful reminder to appreciate all the people and things around us, while also learning some pretty important life lessons that we can apply to every situation. Okay, so where are you planning to submit this for publication? A think most of the Woman's magazines would be a good start. :)
