The Spice of Life by Christine Atkinson
The spice of life, a lovely thought,
what does it really mean?
It adds a dash of something good,
lights up a dismal scene.
It’s the ginger in your pudding,
the cinnamon in your cake,
the nutmeg on your custard,
the good things that you bake.
That isn’t quite the answer,
there’s more to life than that
It could be when a baby laughs,
or buying a new hat.
It’s just that happy feeling,
when life gives you a lift
A little word of kindness,
or an unexpected gift.
As we all move on forward,
through the stresses and the grief;
It’s that one tiny moment,
that gives us some relief.
When God, bestows a little smile,
we taste the magic flavour.
It lights the path, and keeps us strong,
so that, we never waver.
So when someone is down and out,
when someone’s feeling blue
try giving them a little spice,
it may just pull them through.
You never know, the day may come,
when you are in some need
someone may add some ginger,
spice you up with a good deed.
