Cherries

While eating some cherries,

I have to admit

That the fruit is delicious,

But lickety-split

 

The bowl will be empty

Except for the pits

And the stems that released them

For our benefits.

 

The cherries are bursting

With beauty and taste,

Though the pits and the stems

Will get tossed out as waste.

 

When life is described as

This fruit in a bowl,

It’s obvious that

All the cherries are whole

 

And likewise, when everything

Seems on the fritz,

It’s apt to believe that

Your life is the pits.
