Chocolate and Cinnamon Buns

sokibgb

When it gets chilly I bundle up

with a good book and a blanket

M fuzzy slippers keep my feet warm 

And then my thoughts start to wonder

 

Chilly evenings bring back memories

of hot chocolate and cinnamon buns

which my Mother used to make

to keep our bodies warm

 

I sometimes think she was right, you see

I remember  falling asleep

Under the blanket cozy and warm

While my Mother was kissing my cheek

 

The chilly evenings of long ago

I cannot ever forget

As I wait in the kitchen

For my cinnamon buns to bake

 

Now is the time for my own children

to fall asleep, you see

Cozy and warm under their blankets

While I now kiss  their cheeks

      You make my sweet tooth wake up and I had all them pulled out; I saw this poem this morning and did not see the picture. You really like to temp people. Great tribute to the loving things remembered about your mother and how she liked to spoil you.
