Taste and see

sometimes it is a bitter cup,
  we only want the sweet tasting ones.
it is not ours to control or decide,
  we taste life to the full, unknown.
there are days we want it to pass,
  like the garden of Gethsemane.
there are days we want more,
  because it is sweet, joyous.
we take it all, drinking the dregs,
  loose crumbs and all, it is life.
