Strawberry Shortcake

Summer fresh

Strawberry shortcake.

Tender, crumbling cake,

Spill of glistening berries,

Mounds of whipped cream-

Taste it!

 

Sublime, perfection.

Except, look close-

That berry holds half a worm,

You never know when you are eating a worm.

Life is like that too.

It can still be sublime

If you accept the worm.
