Recipe For Life
Chop some hate and melt it down, add a dash of tears,
Spoon in a bit of modesty and evaporate your fears.
Take a slice of hurt you felt, now add it to the pot.
sprinkle lightly with some shame, let it all get hot.
Now prepare you pride with elegance, and leave it to one side,
And get your hands all sticky, with the secrets that you hide.
Grate some anger and some guilt, mix it all with love,
Now you need a piece of soul, I recommend you wear a glove
Add a 'thank you' and a 'please' and try a 'love you too'.
Let it all simmer for a lifetime, then enjoy your stew.

It's kind of scary
Nothing against your dad ... I would love to meet the father of such a talented writer... But I would be afraid I would use the wrong hand or show the botom of my feet or some other atrosity that would offend him... You would have to teach me all the muslim traditions!
