'Life Is A Piece Of Cake' Poem by Linda Winchell

I’ve heard it said many times before
“That life is like a piece of cake! ”
Now I don’t know how you slice yours
But sometimes it may not be up to taste.

My favorite cake is dark rich chocolate
With creamy whipped icing goo.
And maybe some kind of custard filling inside
For no other cake for me would ever do.

Slice it into quarters
Slice it into thirds.
Slice it into halves if you wish.
And may the largest piece of cake be yours.

But no matter how you slice it
It will all go down the same.
Maybe a tad bit easier with milk or tea, or coffee
But may take you to where it was you came.

For life is more than flour, sugar, eggs and water
It is made up of all of God’s ending, mercy, love and grace.
For He is the only one, that can spread the icing of forgiveness
On that slice of cake, your sinful life might bake.
