A Little of This, A Dash of That

A Little of This, A Dash of That

 

Everyone needs something special to keep

Tucked safely in the heart.

Tender words to believe

In times dark.

 

A caring touch upon the face,

A pat on the back.

A soft place.

A little of this, a dash of that.

 

Stirring in perfection,

Mixing in kindness and care.

A covering of protection

To all who dare.

 

Everyone needs love,

A warmth without lack.

Knowing that you’re enough.

A little of this, a dash of that.

 

Hope never wavering,

Steadfast peace poured into the soul.

A life worth savoring,

A heart to know.

 

A recipe for life

Is to always have

The perfect mixture to survive...

A little of this, a dash of that.

I agree dear Melinda.
"A recipe for life
Is to always have
The perfect mixture to survive...
A little of this, a dash of that."

firstly, i just loved and read thrice the title only.
off course not because I didn't get it but because it held for long...that dash thing felt like something related to me...COMMENDABLE!

secondly, Everyone needs love,
A warmth without lack.
Knowing that you’re enough.
A little of this, a dash of that.

I really liked how the poem started, it reminded of events that happened with me.
"A recipe for life
Is to always have
The perfect mixture to survive...
A little of this, a dash of that."
