Recipe for a Lover

  3. Attitude
  4. Recovery

A perfect lover, who can find?

Is he a figment of my mind?

I’ll make my own and you will see

this lover’s perfect, just for me.

 

First ingredient, Lots of Laughter,

that’s the heart song I am after.

No matter what the night may bring,

the laughing heart can always sing.

 

Interruptions, yes they come,

sometimes many, sometimes one,

reaction to them makes the mood,

so add in an accepting attitude.

 

When in the throes, the bed frame breaks,

how long does the recovery take?

A laughing heart is quick to smile,

and strongly goes the extra mile.
