Baking 

is a lot like

Life.

You do everything,

exactly as the recipe says, 

but still, somehow you

mess it up.

Even though, 

when you taste your creation

You can’t even tell.

It may have not turned out the way you

wanted it to,

But it’s still good, and maybe;

Just maybe

It’s even better than what 

it was originally supposed to be.

Sometimes you have a recipe in mind,

But life comes along, 

and you’ll come to find;

Sometimes, it takes you down

A different path than you expected. 

so don’t frown,

It doesn’t mean it’s wrong, 

but rather,

That it’s a new adventure

waiting just for you!

You still get to where your going,

You’re just taking a new route

 that you didn’t even know existed. 

You can do anything you set your mind to,

from baking cookies 

to living life to the fullest.  

Believe in yourself, you got this!

No matter what path you’re on, 

You’ll get to where you’re going.
