A Recipe for Healing

In the kitchen of the soul, a recipe’s been found

For healing wounds that linger, and hearts that are worn down

A blend of love, of kindness, and of gentle care

A mixture that soothes the pain, and shows us we can share

Take a pinch of patience, and a dash of trust

Add a spoonful of empathy, and a sprinkle of dust

From the earth beneath our feet, where roots run deep

And a cup of compassion, that overflows and seeps

Stir in the warmth of sunlight, and the gentle breeze

That whispers words of hope, and brings us to our knees

Add a teaspoon of forgiveness, and a tablespoon of time

To let the wounds heal slowly, and the scars begin to shine

Simmer with the quiet, of a peaceful night

Where stars up in the heavens, twinkle with all their might

And let the Flavors meld, as the heart begins to mend

As love and kindness combine, to heal the wounds that never end

Season with gratitude, for each new day’s dawn

And serve with an open heart, that’s free from all scorn

For in this recipe for healing, we find our way to mend

The broken pieces of ourselves, and learn to love again and again.
