A Taste Of Life

Take a teaspoon 
of joy
A tablespoon
of sorrow
A cupful
of family
A handful
of friends

Add the 
sweetness
of success
the bitterness
of failure
the spice
of danger
the sourness
of fear

Whisk in
some memories
good and bad
Blend it all
into a smooth mix
Serve it up
garnished 
with love

Savour the 
rich tastes
of the feast
that is life
