After a day of life
I realize fatigue
Comming from my mind
So I quickly rush to rest

I come home
To a sweet surprise
A bright candyset
Right before my eyes

A gift of life
To me,  for my sufferings
A time for rest
While savoring sweet bliss

One was a lolipop
Very huge and intimidating
But I took the challenge!
To taste its shiny coating!

I smile in anticipation
Experiencing the sensation
Bittersweet satisfaction
I nearly cry from sheer elation

Bright red droplets pour
Each time the lollipop melts
It's somewhat thick
But soft like the cushion for pins

Next was candy
With somewhat hard coating
It was also big
And kind of heavy

I ogle at its odd shape
It was very tempting to take
But I strengthened my resolve
I was determined open it

While contemplating
I notice a long cherry licorice
Again tempted to grab it
But I daydreamed instead

Thinking of what kind
Of sweet surprise
That may open
A window to a sweeter life

Waking up
I remember the chore
That's still in front of me
That I had made before

Concentrating I slowly pull
The sturdy string hiding its jewel
Excited I unconsciously put
The mystery candy in my mouth

Even though it is still wrapped
I was too excited I could taste the wrap
But suddenly to my surprise
My parents come in just time

The seemed surprised
that I found the candy
Smirking I looked guilty
But I already wanted to finish quickly

Scared I might get a toothache
They quickly rush to my aid
I smiled and tugged with my finger
And said to them, shall I pull the trigger?
