Grandma's Recipe

A warm and even oven set, you're ready to begin
By mixing, in the largest vat, the following; putting in -
A quart of fun and laughter to each bushel filled with love;
Gallons of time for encouragement; praise for effort above.

Add cups of songs and stories and a pinch of nonsense, too;
Conversation, that grows with age, binds together your brew.
Use a tender ear to listen to the problems of the day;
Your interest is the ingredient that must not go astray.

Patience pays off in this mix; a hug will smooth and impart
Grandma's special recipe - the recipe of her heart.
