Cherry

Red and precious,

like a ruby;

Soft and warm,

like a heart;

Crisp and juicy,

like an apple;

It hangs on the tree

ready for my mouth.

But I let it sit

want it to grow riper - 

want it to be

the best in the world.

And I think the rain

will only help it,

but I over look its harm.

For the next day

I'm ready for picking

and the healthy goodness

has burst.
