Erase
Do I want to erase?
The lows, the blues, the sighs?
And keep only the happy stuff,
The unimaginable highs?
But what fun would life be, then?
Would the good be as valuable?
If it wasn't interspersed with the lows?
Would the meal be as tasty?
If there was only sweet!
Aren't the spicy, the sour, the bitter.
As vital as that delectable dessert treat?
Yes, this makes sense.
To keep the picture complete.
And not erase the edgy poky parts
For, the big picture, is a whole
Like a warm blanket stitched from shards!
