Memories of old, both bitter and sweet
Like flavors combining, in a dish to eat.
The sweet flavor entices, with a taste that lingers
While the bitter reminds us of life's toughest triggers.
Each day's a mix, of good and the bad
Of moments of greatness, and longings for the sad.
But it's in the bitter we seem to grow
Though we savor the sweet, as it tempts us so.
Life is but a blending, of these two extremes
Of laughter and tears, and everything in between.
So let's taste every flavor, of life's bittersweet
Embracing each moment, from sorrow to treat.
We'll cherish the sweet and learn from the bitter
As we live each day, and become oh so much wiser.
For in the tasting of bittersweet memories
We find the beauty, in life's little simplicities.
