Like A Box Of Chocolates

Blinded by anticipation

The sweet chocolates of life

Mysterious in nature

Surprise to the senses

Reaching absent mindedly

Delighted by experience

Rich is this flavor

To be savored, this treat

Another moment passed

Another choice is had

Sour is the moment

Yet gratitude bestows the soul

Living continues on

Decisions continue shaping

Golden surroundings to buds of tongue

Smiles to be mustered for this passing

Unpredictable is each second

Lessons lie in each breath

Like chocolates in each heart shaped box

One needn’t know what waits to be gotten

What a nice poem! Though I've never seen Forest Gump, the saying's fame truly precedes it. I've found myself in a slump lately, and this poem put a small smile on my face~~ Thank you for sharing it, I enjoyed reading it!

Like this, I bet with a name like O`Connor you have a link to the bards of Ireland or Scotland, with their literary tradition..

[Briana O'Connor]

As far as I know my great-grandparents immigrated from Ireland. Thank you :D
