Food for Thought Mother's Recipe

My mom's the finest cook on earth; And she told me long ago, That bread's no good unless you add Some lovin' to the dough. "And when your're baking pies," she says, "A pinch of faith and trust, If added to the shortening makes A flakey, tender crust. And compassion by the spoonful in The batter of a cake, Makes it come out light and fluffy, Just the finest you can make." Now these things can't be purchased In the store across the way, But Mother keeps them in her heart And uses them each day. "Author Unknown"
