My Mother's Cocoa

Hot Chocolate, Mexican style-
cinnamon sweet.
What a family treat.
When the marshmallows
in the blue mug
were gone-
I 'd reach out for that red
and yellow box.

What do memories like these serve me?
They serve Santa's cookies on a
wintry day.

The tooth fairy might also visit
you in this land of childhood dreams.

However, lands for grown-ups await me.
I have a lot of preparing to do.
Can you button up my coat and see me off?

THIS IS A TRULY GREAT COMMENT, LIKE E.E.CUMMINGS. IT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE CLASSES IN DECADES TO COME.
