BREWING A POT OF HOPE

In these times of uncertainties

Brewing hope can be challenging

Begin by heating two cups of water of life

Heat to the warmth of the heart

Now pour in a cup of prayer to keep

Evil at bay, just in case.

In a separate pan

Blend four tablespoons of gratitude with

Oil of peace, slice a clove of kindness, add

Some chopped roots of earth’s blessing

With a pinch of prosperity

Brown to harmony, and set aside.

Mix a cup of fortitude cream with

Grated cheese of understanding

Stir well

Add to the water, let it simmer till it smells of satisfaction.

Finally, combine all ingredients on low heat of patience

From the herb garden of serenity, pick morsels of 

Happiness, smile, love, some golden petals of contentment 

Sprinkle upon your pot of hope, and serve it hot.
