Nothing Nibbled Is Permanent Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Live as if life is meant to give.
And...
That life we all have has 'already' been given.

Take as if rewarded for deeds achieved.
And...
Pleased with a life lived is guaranteed.

However...
One breathing daily the breath of life,
Seeking the fulfillment of promises others make...
May become disappointed by the length of the wait,
As frustrations become more the experience...
Of one's delayed expectation.

And,
Unfortunately...
For those living like this,
A complaint department does not exist!

So...
Live as if life is meant to give.
And...
That life we all have has 'already' been given.

Just know this...
Those prepared to taste the texture of cupcakes,
May have to settle for sour lemondrops as a replacement...
Now and then!

Remember...
Nothing nibbled is permanent.
Whether enjoyed or not!
