The Pretty Pea
The pea has been delicate for years,
soft all her life,
tender, the smallest pretty thing.
The pea is sweet,
she loves to bond with salt beef and dumplings,
a quiet treasure at the table.
The pea is precious,
though not every child loves her.
Yet once they are grown,
they find they cannot get enough—
sweet and delicious,
proof that pretty little things last.
