Life's Recipe: As Simple as Applesauce


With the apples, ask someone to help you peel

Find a friend to look past your outer layer, see how you feel.


Cut the apples into smaller sized pieces with a knife,

Making big things smaller helps to deal with them in life.


To make the sauce smooth, cut away everything rough,

Minimize the hard times, they tend to make life tough.


Put the apples with a bit of water into a large pot,

Torah is Mayim Chaim, and we have to learn a lot.


Cook the applesauce on a low flame, not to hot,

Warmth is necessary, getting overheated is not.


Don’t mix it, watch it carefully,

Don’t muddle things up and they’ll go smoothly.


Keep it simple! That’s rule number 1!

Complications make life harder on everyone.


It takes hard work and plenty of love,

To ensure it will turn out okay, pray to the one above!
