SUGAR RUSH
Chocolates, lollipops, candies,
name them all
They make children go nuts,
crazy, as they crumble.
These things make kids go gaga,
for their delicate package hold,
something very royal
in colors of blue, orange, pink, and sometimes
gold.
Sweets are silver linings to little children.
They give comfort a mother couldn’t always give.
They crave every package, they envy every
piece.
In a rough day spent, candies are their bliss.
A child may cry, a child may laugh,
but a child like me used to be full of glee
just use candies, they work always
to feed those smile that last for days.
