Unpeel and crush preconceived notions and set aside.
Grease pan generously with a sense of humour.
Combine love, sacrifice, tears and poverty well
with sighs to taste in forgiveness bowl with a deep enough capacity.
Pour liberal amounts of Love-for-reading essence over combined ingredients. 
Add patience, understanding and fortitude with listening diced finely
and strain through gritted teeth.
Fold in concentrated yelling, discipline and a sprinkle of insanity
and knead with undiluted respect and empathy.
Ensure that you work in a generous amount of prayer-yeast
or the mixture will not rise.
Leave aside to rise to self-confidence-with frequent checks-
before baking over time to maturity.
If heat of anger is too intense, lower temperature to tolerance.
Garnish liberally with affection.

Yields enough laughter and growth for all.
