recipe for kindness |
fold two hands together |
and express a dash of sorrow |
marinate it overnight |
and work on it tomorrow. |
chop one grudge in tiny pieces |
add several cups of love |
dredge with a large sized smile |
and mix the ingredients above. |
dissolve the hate within you |
by doing a very good deed |
dash in some help for any friend |
if they should be in need. |
stir in laughter, love and kindness |
from the heart it has to come |
mix with genuine forgiveness |
and give your neighbour some. |
the amount of people you can serve |
from the recipe above |
is in the quality of its ingredients |
and unlimited amounts of love. |
this recipe's for the whole wide world |
for everyone to make |
just get it all together |
and cook for god's own sake |
