Coffee & Contemplation

Cup #18

Okay it's cheesy

But life is like a box of chocolates

Yeah you don't know what you're gonna get,

But even with the bitter candies

There are sweet surprises.

Just how life leaves us disappointed

Or satisfied

Or disgusted

Or calmed.

Yeah it sucks at first

But why waste the adventure?

Learn how to love?

Pass a hard test?

Walk your daughter down the aisle?

Have a loved one pass away?

Have a break down?

Build yourself up again?

Why end it on a bad note

When there's a whole melody after it?

Hold on to the beauty of life

Cherish it more

Don't joke around too much

Then you're blind to the blessing God gave you

We hurt

We feel

We do wrong

We love too much

We hate too long

But we are human

So look forward to the better you

Look for a better life

The hurt comes and goes

But your smile says it all

Learn from the awful

Keep on going for the sweet

Smile a little more

It makes the good times worth it

I'll hold your hand

I'll let you scream

But don't you ever think

That life's not sweet enough

Because you are what makes

My life just so lovely
