Love Poem: Mommy Dearest

Mommy Dearest

He looks into her eyes 
  Twinkling stars above him 
 lift him upon a cloud

 Tiny buds open up
to taste the breath of life
Milk and honey  sugar and spice

Light, tender, fluttering 
 Love imprisons a little heart
as mommy's  kiss lingers on his lips.



 "Give Mommy Some Sugar."
