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!

Visited Del Mar’s shops, businesses, restaurants and bars for the Village’s annual Taste and Sip with closest pals. Highlights: learning about Mezcal at @enfuegocantina, sampling new @lalospirits tequila, catching the sunset at @monarchdelmar, amazing ceviche at @coya_peruvian_secret, and the most delicious gluten-free birthday cake from @shanjo! Recommend this for next year - was the best best most good time.
