.:.Precious Life.:.
Mark Bruce

I really like this Mike-n-Ike,
Yellow, orange, or green.
It seems to last forever,
At least that’s what it seems.

Large and wholesome when you start,
The candy seems so big,
But quickly it disintegrates.
You don’t know where it’s been.

Try to enjoy your Mike-n-Ike from the beginning 'til the end
Its gone before you know it.
But just pop one back in.

Life is like a Mike-n-Ike.
You think it lasts forever.
Try to appreciate the little things,
If you know this, you’re quite clever.

Life and Mike-n-Ikes also have a difference.
When your life is gone, it’s gone.
You can always pop in a new candy.
But life is still gone.
