One-half cup of friendship

Add a cup of thoughtfulness

Cream together with a

Pinch of powdered tenderness

Very lightly beaten

In a bowl of loyalty

With a cup of faith, one of hope

And one of charity.

Be sure to add a spoonful each

Of gaiety that sings

And also the ability to laugh

At little things,

Moisten with the sudden tears

Of heartfelt sympathy.

Bake in a good-natured pan

And serve repeatedly.
