It is simple to make a stew,
Just need simple ingredients few,
Mix them all, in a pot you boil,
Let it slowly bubble and brew.

It takes vegetables and meat,
Or it would be too thin to eat,
Likewise too in your life you need,
A family and friends you meet.

Salt of toil, pepper for conflicts,
Spices for pain that life inflicts,
Dash of sugar, for moments sweet,
Can you see our lives this depicts?

A simple stew should be made slow,
Bubbled over a gentle flame low,
Let thyme of time lend aroma,
Wait patiently as the hours flow.

It is a lesson for your life,
With happiness your days are rife,
Or quiet harmony you crave,
When enduring trouble and strife.
