A dash of hope

A whisker of despair

A pinch of happiness

A drop of care

Bitter tears from an old soul

Love from a love so pure

Hardships from one who’s been through much

Childishness from one immature

Now repeat after me;

Hope, despair, happiness, and care,

Bitter tears, pure love, hardships of one, and an too immature.

In this cauldron

I create

A love potion
