Poem
She is a wonderful baker…with magical baking skills she is endowed… being able to make the perfect cookie has always made her proud. If you ask her friends and family…as a baker they’d shay she’s a 10… but even a perfect baker has an off day now and then. She was making snow globe cookies for her church to be served on Christmas night… but when it came to the last cookie…she couldn’t get the decorations right. “His hat is wrong.” She lamented. “His eyes are too big and his nose has gone south… His body isn’t smooth enough…and don’t get me started on his mouth.” “Is that a scarf or a lobster claw? His arms are much too small… This cookie,” she said dejectedly, “cannot be served at all.” But she promised the church two dozen cookies and even thought it was not her best… she didn’t have time to bake another…so she hid it under the rest. She watched as children ate her cookies but as was to be her fate… her ugly snow globe cookie was the last one on the plate. As a mother handed this cookie to her daughter…the cookie she had botched… the baker turned away…she was too embarrassed to watch. “Thank you for the perfect cookie.” The mother told the baker… The baker smiled thinking she was being kind… until she saw the little girl with a crumb-filled smile sanding in front of her… and realized…she was blind. “Your cookie was delicious.” The young girl said as against her mother’s leg she leaned. “It was the most beautiful cookie my hands have ever seen. “His hat, his eyes…his nose…his scarf…his mouth…I could feel them all… I love how you kept his body rough…did you mean to make his arms so small?” I’m not sure how or why, you did it….the girl said enthusiastically but it was as if that perfect cookie…you created just for me… Now the baker always brings two batches of perfect cookies with her and everyone understands one half are for those who see them with their eyes… The other half…for those who see them with their hands.
