Another day
and I find
freshest memories of mine
are thoughts of her, still in my mind
long after words she spoke to me
and quiet is
where sound should be.
Caramel skin, the color brown
upon her face ne’er was a frown.
Wrinkles were not hers to wear
silver brightened whitest hair.
Tall and slender, very straight,
safari colors coordinate
with coral rings
turquoise things.
And quietly with words she’d paint
pictures, while her voice grew faint.
Softly she would rationalize
while mischief shown
in warm brown eyes.
"Eating cookies is good for you
you need some sugar,
Yes you do.
You should never deny
yourself a cookie
I’ll tell you why
and I know it sounds so dumb
but very soon you will
succumb
to temptation as it brings
thoughts of eating other things
and those things it often seems
are nasty puddings and icy creams
full of awful ingredients
that’s why cookies are heaven sent.
So eat the cookie, it’s good for you.
The only thing better
is maybe two."
