------The Recipe------
Describe to me the taste of life
and tell me of its flavor
Does it have exotic spice
to make me slowly savor
each morsel that is given me
will it satisfy my soul
or is its taste just bittersweet
to leave me feeling cold
and somehow want a different slice
from another recipe
or sent back to the chef
to prepare more carefully
For life I've heard is delicate
and needs a loving hand
to bring out those ingredients
which makes life taste so grand
So tell me of life's mystery
and how to get it right
I must ensure I will enjoy
each most delightful bite
