My Youth Recipe

If I  can find a banana around

and sweet potatoes underground

I would be a happy lass

never to let an opportunity pass.

But beef steak once a month is a pleasure

while seafood hotpot might be better.

Moringa leaves revitalize my energy

yet I can’t resist raw tuna with wasabi.

For supple skin, I think of Vitamin E

though virgin coconut oil is best for me.

Organic food might be too expensive.

I won’t eat most food raw, moving and offensive.

Pets calm my volcanic nature

while sunbaths enhance my character.

I would like  to believe smiles are contagious.

Bright optimism is courageous.

A happy niece who will never keep still

Paints pictures of my childhood energetic will.

I am blessed to know

and rightfully so…

to have a brother caring for the sick

As well as a  sister who is quite strict!

My mother mixes up her children’s names

while Father guides us with our aims.

I recommend Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for high tea

Do not forget a swim in the sea!

Oh, to feel the sky and mountain

Long walks to anywhere or about a fountain…

Wish I had time for Frisbee with the children

but my own photography has been forsaken.

A trip to the sauna does everyone good

though Scrabble with myself is brain food.

Try writing haikus in style and ease

or riding my old-fashioned bicyle as you please.

When laughter is in abundance

Sand between my toes soothes my confidence.

When the rain comes and goes

the city deserves rainbows.

I like to listen to someone play the piano

amidst night lights of civilization also.

Give me a two-hour massage to lighten my nerves

but find me a real man to compliment my curves!

Let us admire beauty around us

I love receiving letters though it is a fuss!
