The Blending of Two Spices - written by Patti Stephen - 7-8-13

(I was inspired to write this because of two friends of mine who have a really sweet relationship.)


The blending of two spices
can yield such great results
if mixed carefully together
by two refined adults.

Who know that it takes time

For flavors to be blended
Who know that when all’s said and done
It’s worth it and tastes splendid!

To simmer slowly, carefully
In the crockpot of our life
To know how to enhance flavor,
To handle stress and take on strife.

To know when to add new seasonings
To this most appealing dish
As each element is mixed within
And they choose to take the risk.

They sit back to enjoy the fragrance
While the heat is slow to rise
To its full intense and flavored end
But still they must be wise.

What began with two sweet spices
Has now become transformed
Into a tasty style of art
And a new format has been reborn.

But they were slow, unhurried and took their time
As they watched it culminate
In anticipation of it to be “well done”
And knew it was worth the wait.
