We hold within our hearts, <br />old recipes so rare. <br />One's that don't come out of books, <br />and can, quite easily tear. <br />You can tell your friends about them <br />and some will understand, <br />but other's try to banish pain. <br />then vanish from the land. <br />If you mix the herbs of love, <br />life becomes easier to bear. <br />Then talk about your problem, <br />which is so much nicer to share. <br />So why let there be despair, <br />when trouble comes your way. <br />The heart folds in fine ingredients, <br />and helps you though the day. <br />So then if you can remember, <br />to flavour life with ease. <br />You have only got to search your mind <br />For life's old recipes.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-recipes/
