SWEETIE PIE (written for my daughter, Alexa)
How do you make a sweetie pie
Is it something you can bake?
Are there special things that go in it
Do you frost it like a cake?
What are the ingredients
That make it taste so sweet?
I imagine there’s no dirt or bugs
Or socks from smelly feet
Maybe there’s my mama’s grin
And my daddy’s silly laugh
Some flowers and some bumblebees
A kissie and a half
I know I’d add some polka dots
Some red and green and blue
A trip to a big parade
Amusement park and zoo
I want to make a sweetie pie
As sweet as sweet can be
I ask my mama and she laughs
Says a sweetie pie is me

How totally wonderful. One could not ask for more.
A delight to the soul, a joy to the mind, and a bubble filled with rainbows that emanate the love you have for your children.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I would not have had this delight, had you not left a comment behind my comment on Cactus Petunia’s Buenos Burritos blog. Thank you much!
Michele
