Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates

Life's a box of chocolates, oh so sweet,
Each piece a flavor, a moment to greet.
Some taste of joy, a burst of pure delight,
While others bring sorrow, a bitter fight.

We savor the highs, with smiles on our face,
But lows leave us searching for solace and grace.
In every bite, a lesson to learn,
To cherish the good and let go of the bad.
Choices that some never had.

The assortment of life, a mix unforeseen,
We navigate the unknown, the places between.
Embrace the variety, the unknown unknowns,
For in this box of chocolates, our story unfolds.
