Sweet as…


Sweet as…        

Mangos growing from a seed 

Hanging on a tree

While I sit under, waiting for her to wiggle free

                                             

Sweet as…

Sunday morning sunlight

Squinting your eyes, because she’s too bright

Open the shades so she shines just right    

                                                        

Sweet as…

Garden butterflies

Spotted from a far

In the distant like a shining star

            

Sweet as… 

A diabetic in shock

Grabbing a sugar block

 

Sweet as...

A joyous Sunday afternoon

A nap to rest your eyelids

And Monday has come too soon

 

Sweet as...

Thoughts forming in your mind

To ask the one
 
Will you forever be mine?
 
 
Sweet as…
 
A natural high
 
On Aladdin’s carpet ride
 
All throughout the day sky
 
 
Sweet as…

Angelic voices tuning a song

Edging you to sing along

 

Sweet as…

April showers

And May flowers

Watching roses bloom for hours

 

Sweet as…love
