Growing Up - Poetry

Raspberry Dawns
Pink Dew Covering Fields of Crunchy Sugar Coated Pecans

Reclining on Couches of Hostess Ho Ho's
Drinking from a river of A&W Root Beer

No School
No Homework
No Chores
No Anything

Chocolate sunsets of love

At 8 years

I hold my breath

Wish for this and blow out the candles

At 46, I now know

This is not the real wish

This will not bring Satisfaction, Happiness, Nirvana

No

It should be Chocolate Dawns and Raspberry Sunsets of Love
