You are growing up so fast
Your little head glows white blonde
As you bob between pillows and blankets
Chasing the cat with your unsteady steps
And grabbing a fistful of fur in those
Tiny, squishy pink hands of yours.
With a furrowed brow, you toss
Inquisitive looks at this brown rectangle
With a bright red maraschino ball
and a lone wax sentinel burning gold.
All eyes fixed on you and voices
In unison chanting a celebratory song.
And at last you dive your hands
into gooey chocolatey goodness.
