I look back now <br />on that Twelfth of April, <br />the day I first got <br />my Box of Chocolates. <br />The Chocolates were Assorted <br />at random in some unknown factory. <br />Some were Milky Smooth, <br />others had ribbons of Caramel- <br />a Sweet and Luscious treat. <br />And some were Dark as night <br />(those were an Acquired Taste) . <br />Of course there were those with Nuts <br />that got stuck in my teeth, <br />and some of those Chocolates <br />were Hard and Half-stale- <br />but I chewed through them <br />(and yes, I'm still chewing) . <br />And as I reminisce <br />about my Life-sized Box, <br />I think to myself: <br />Thus far, it's been Delicious.<br /><br />Ebone' Ingram<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-like-a-box-of-chocolates-forrest-gump-had-a-point-there/
