Here is my famous recipe,
Ingredients for love, you see,
You need to slake your thirst,
Here are the elements: First,
Bring your patience kind,
Sense of humor springs to mind,
Laugh together through the years,
Sometimes there are days of tears,
But Cupid ever strings his bow,
Healing hands on his arrow,
Yes, this is Cupid's recipe,
Naughty little chap is he!
Feedback welcome.

Is My ..... Poem .....

About .....

" Acquaintances & Friends "
Well, we've all got em', however, it's not so easy sometimes, to distinguish who is who ... ???
The price of admittance into my heart is:

One (1) smile
Two or more (2+) kind words
Three (3) words, said like they were meant
And an infinite amount of patience as I work through my problems.
All I want is a love that will last. But sometimes I feel like that's too much to ask.

Are we all
suffering?
Some of us suffering more?
Some of us suffering less?

Does being kind
to suffering
reduce the suffering
and increase happiness?
Yes it does.

Am I happier
when I am suffering less?
Yes.
Therefore,
to optimise my joy and happiness
should I be kind
to my suffering?
Yes I should.

Am I happier
when others around me
are suffering less
and are more happy?
Yes I am.
Therefore,
should I be kind
to other people's suffering
to make them happier?
Yes I should.

To optimise our joy and happiness
should we be kind
to each other’s
suffering?

In a joy-and-happiness-society
would every person
be kind
to every other person’s
suffering?

I cant say anyone smells more like flowers,
I can say u look better than any towers,
I cant say anyone looks more like a rose,
I can say u r beautiful from your head to your toes,
I cant say anyone is more kind,
I can say you are always there for me to hide behind,
I cant say anyone is more of a freak,
I can say i love you cause i am a geek,
I cant say i hate you,
But i can say i love you too.
LOVE FOR ALL

C'mon, Sweetheart
Close your eyes
Get really cozy
Grab that fuzzy blanket
Maybe pet a dog
This part is important, now,
Breathe in, nice and slow
No rush, no hurry, no goal
Just breathe
And let it out
Gently
Good girl :)

Now, have you eaten?
I know you forget
Or just refuse
Regardless,
Let's get you something
Some water as well
Perhaps tea?
No more coffee, ***
Not this late at least

You're doing so well
Now, how about a shower?
Use your favorite soaps
So your skin is left scented
Clean and floral

Bedtime, Lovely
Alright?
Comfy pjs tonight
Light a candle for a bit
Put on some music
Just be.
It's really alright
You don't have to sleep
Not right away
Just take care of yourself, okay?
I'm here with you
We can do this.
We're going to be alright.
Working on listening to the kinder, quieter voices in my head.

Is joyful and happy
love
never brutal
and always kind?

Nature can be, savage or kind
Which way does it go; can it be defined

A young toad was trapped by a sprinkler today
His life could have ended and be swept away

I noticed him there and expected him to hop
He was stuck I could see and I needed to stop

The mower, would and could have, swallowed him up
Had I not looked his way and stopped so abrupt

His leg was trapped in a sprinkler retract
In came down quite hard with a vicious impact

I was able to raise it and help the toad out
His pour leg looked broke, in that there's no doubt

I hope that he lives and heals up real quick
I'm glad I could help, the toad I named Rick...!
