Life is a Huckleberry
Sweet
And small
And beautiful
Living and growing
Close to each other
But far away too
Add a bunch up
And you can make something wonderful
But they’re sour
And some are rotten
Or not yet ripe
But when you mix together the right things
Something beautiful can happen
Or it can all blow up in a big red, sticky mess
But since life is a huckleberry
Surrounded by Bleeding Hearts and Foxgloves
Spiders and snakes
Leaves and bark
The sun sweetens it, and those around it
Ending all too soon
And small
And beautiful
Living and growing
Close to each other
But far away too
Add a bunch up
And you can make something wonderful
But they’re sour
And some are rotten
Or not yet ripe
But when you mix together the right things
Something beautiful can happen
Or it can all blow up in a big red, sticky mess
But since life is a huckleberry
Surrounded by Bleeding Hearts and Foxgloves
Spiders and snakes
Leaves and bark
The sun sweetens it, and those around it
Ending all too soon
