Life Is A Mixture…

For Jeff;

Life is a mixture of many things,
There are many commodities in life,
Nothing worth having comes easy,
If it's worth having, then it's worth the strife!

Many an ingredient makes a cake,
But the cake of life has a lot more!
For the cake we bake is of importance,
So we need to know the score!

So you put all the bits in the bowl,
And mix them together for the cake,
Bind it, and set it aside for a while,
And see what it is in life we make!

We put into the bowl a little sugar,
To add to the sweetness in life,
And make sure the bitter doesn't show through,
For that way we rid our life of some strife.

Maybe we'll add a little extra flour?
Just to make sure it will hold,
And strengthen the mixture within,
And that will help us face life and be bold.

For the mixture that goes into the oven,
Will bake and mould the life that we lead,
And help to hold us together,
So we can bend like the ear of seed!

Then we add the eggs to bind it,
For it to hold it all together,
And when we've done that, it seals the cake,
So we can face any stormy weather.

And when the cake is baked at last,
It brings our life to completion, that's true,
And then and only then can we see…
The reason for the life of me and you!

Everything that happens is for a reason,
And every cake that we bake is meant,
But the reasons are not always shown to us,
Just seen by God, for they're Heaven sent…

So when life changes and alters,
And you don't see the reason why,
There is no point in worrying at all,
And there is no reason to cry.

Because worrying changes nothing,
But tears, well, they are sometimes okay!
Because they help release the pent up fear,
That was caused through life's changes this day.

So smile through all of the changes,
Accept that it's the better that you'll see,
And put your worry in the past,
Face it with constitution and strength, like me!
