~ Sticky Kiss ~

Butterflies and Eskimo's
Have a claim on this act
Whether quickie or French
Must practice for tact

Pucker up or open up
Depends on the type
And much like fine Wine
It's wet or it's dry

By my favorite is sticky
In whatever flavor
My son takes his sucker
Wraps it up just for later

He puckers and waits
Eyes closed rather tight
I cringe and debate
Which side, left or right

I press my cheek softly
My face close to his
I feel a sticky smooch
I thank God he didn't miss

The look in his eyes
Future scrubbing so worth it
I hear an "I love you"
My bad day is made perfect

And with his sweet smile
His eyes dancing in bliss
I tell him "I love you"
All sealed with a kiss

I so loved this poem and it takes me back to days when my kids were little ones...so many beautiful kisses we shared.
We still do, but they are now grown.

I enjoy your poems very much!

Those stickies are the best. I haven't had one of those kind in a long time.

Another post which has made me realise there are just not enough kisses in my life!

A toddler's kiss is just the best :)
