i begged you and begged you
closed my eyes… and then on Christmas morning
there it was!
the pink polly pocket tea castle
that filled my dreams with elaborate play
i thanked Mama
and exulted you on that day
all hail the bringer of toys!
it made my tea party afternoons with Mom splendid
and filled my heart with overwhelming joy
we poured and sipped and giggled
i did my best bourgeois impersonation:
pinky finger up, head cocked to the side
in a stoic and pertinacious manner
i was a miss thing ahead of my time
and in love with the feeling
my thanks lasted all the way up until…
my last cup of tea and beyond
even now my adult eyes swelled
with reminiscent memories thinking about that toy
it was beautiful, one of a kind,
the craftsmanship only out shined
by its glitter covered green shell
hell, i was down right pleased
this was the first time…
i realized that my Daddy
listens to little old me
Thank you for reading!
Love always, Esha ❤
