pick a life from a basket of apples

from a basket of apples,
could you pick the best for you?

the one that tastes the sweetest, the crunchiest,
and is heavenly fresh?

should be a blessing, if you could.
the joy inside the peelings, you savour.

yet if you had to take it with closed eyes; blindfolded,
would you eat it
if it is rotten and ugly?
unpleasant and yucky?

plant the seeds.

so that they could grow,
so that you would have more apples to pick from.
and you would have even more, even better,
than you had wished for.
