My Fruit Bowl

I sit at the kitchen table lost in thought
thinking of the people I have met
All different in their own way
Unique, isn't a strong enough word and nothing else seems to fit

My eyes suddenly fall on my fruit bowl
A wonderful sight of  course
standing in the middle of my table

The hard and crunchy apples
that wouldn't mind a fall

The soft and gooey bananas
that aren't given much care

The tangy and juicy oranges
We never know if they'll be sweet or sour

Sweet and Sour, hard and crunchy, soft and gooey
The people I have met today are no different from my fruit bowl.
