It brightens my world.

It starts when I see one,

My eyes twinkle, twinkle

More than the stars do.

I unwrapped with care

As if I’m unwrapping something—

The only something—

I so wanted in life.

And in every bite is grace—

a bliss—

Inevitably,

I smile—

I smile as big as the crescent moon;

Because life is so worthwhile.

In general, by default,

we have a thing called instinct,

which often leads us to appropriate responses,

serving as our compass.

However, in the event that it wouldn’t work,

the most sensible response

is to distant ourselves (and consider others too)

from harm or danger.

Finally, in matters of life and death,

of course, we choose life.

But in the event of brain death,

To avoid continued suffering,

We pull the plug,

And allow dignified death

To take its course.

Extra pair of eyes,

Extra pair of ears,

Extra pair of hands

And feet—

Those are too nice;

But too much to impose

Even to expect.

So to just find

A kindred soul

Who enjoys your company,

Is enough.

As friends are always gifts
