Simple Pleasures

Secret Recipe

A little bit of me and a wee one or two
Add a dash of starlight and a dandelion too
Then let it rise an entire lifetime through
And that's the recipe for Momma's love.

It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven cause it has a bit of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And the recipe for Momma's love.

If you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
Cause it won't keep 'em coming back for more.

I didn't get it from my Grandma's book upon a shelf
I didn't get if from a magical and culinary elf
A little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
That's the recipe for Momma's love.

~paraphrased from 'Recipe for Love', Harry Connick Jr. ~

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
