life is like lucky charms

life is like lucky charms
everyone gets their bowls
with the cereal, and the marshmellows

the cerel is like average life
unless, of course,
you make them to be more

the marshmellows are like the good times
so good,
but so short

some people save the marshmellows
some people eat them all
and then reach into others bowls

some people open the box again
hoping, reaching,
for more

    I love this! Great way of relating life to something as simple as I box of cereal. So true!

    I never read a truer cereal analogy. Lucky charms was also my childhood XD

    Yes! I had them yesterday and it felt like I was eating nostalgia in a weird sort of way. :)
