A huge big pot of welcome two ladles full of love one tablespoon of caring and one likewise of sharing.
A pinch or two of 'spice' two lumps of real happiness few drops of empathy; oodles of overflowing honesty.
Then stir into it well the batter sweet of softness, with a hint or two of genuine concern.
Heat this mixture then lovingly with true warmth straight from the heart keep it stirring, never letting it settle.
Never taking it for granted lest some of it gets claimed and consumed by the fire of passion, that burns threateningly close.
Keep spooning off the scum of pride and frothing bitterness, of jealousy and vanity, mistrust and pettiness.
The potion of passion volatile so easy to conjure, eyes, some heart, lot of lust yearning and some daring!
Friendship though is so different no wonder it's hard at first those hours and hours of selfless caring and sharing with someone you truly love.
Trials and tribulations of karma hurt indeed! Once, though, the pot is cooked and ready, O' friend O' beloved, we're then set for eons and eons of lasting eternity!
