A to Z Honesty - X is for xtra xcellent eggs

Easter Sunday, chocolate and boys,
two of my very favouritest things.

Taller this year, tall enough to see things never seen before.
Next year a dimpled smile will rise above the numbers
and my heart will sadden just a titch
as childhood strays a little farther out of my panicked reach.

Magenta pearl in a pussywillow crook, waits.

Pine needles, new grass, rustling leaves.
My baby's shining face glows in morning light.

Who has more chocolate? Who has more laughter? More joy? More love?
No one more than me.
