The Cake ~~ NaPoWriMo 2022, Day One

A Cake Lover Tells 

My favorite 
A cake with candles 
Candles burning brightly  
Quickly blow them out 

Ones for me to blow
But first I make a wish 
A wish I'll want to come true 
Birthday spent with you 

Will happen I know 
'Cause you always do 
You'll find I'm running away
So then you run with me 

And bring my cake along

Oh, yes, please. May there always be cake and wishes that come true. Lovely poem and what a beautiful granddaughter you have. Thanks for sharing. I bless you and here's a wish for your speedy recovery. I mean speedy: to not be able to taste cake? Not a good thing. Be well. xo

So very sweet. I want to have my cake and my wish too! This is Karin/Manicddaily. I may end up posting anonymously as I sometimes have trouble with Google! TAKE CARE!

Google has hurt me too on email, but I've learned the system fairly well for the rest.
Their search engine knows me very well as well.

Cakes with burning candles--waiting for wishes--are the very best. I hope your granddaughter's birthday was perfect. I hope you got to taste the cake.

Good luck with NaPoWriMo... it's really quite an effort to write 30 days on the trot!
