Perfect Ingredient

We are all like sugar

Just adding on the sweetness

That you would like in life.

We are all like the salt

Just enough to give the taste.

We are all like the spice

That adds up to just

make life enjoyable,

We all like the colours

Different shades in a box

Used as and when required

To fit into the picture.

Yet we need to be just perfect

To make life living.

We need just a little sweetness

Which should not be harmful to life.

We just need to be appropriate

just as the pinch of salt

A little extra might just ruin the taste.

We need at times to spice up

To make life easier to relish

We need to blend in as the shade

required to make life

Seem picturesque.

Too little, too much

Just a spoonful or just a stroke, pinch

Or a touch,

This is what matters most

To cook up a beautiful life

Need a bit of balancing, and a little expertise.

I want to be the ingredient that

Cooks up the most

Relishing dish called life

I want to be just the perfect add on

To make life easy to live.

I want to be just that which

Can make life meaningful live

Would you be one such ingredient

Ready to give?
