Birthday Girl

Her face lit up with a smile
radiance, ebullience
for the longest while
plastic fork and spoon
cast aside, napkin astride
the floor
while more and more
and more of the
chocolatey cake ends up
as the latest 
one-year-old birthday-girl 
makeup

B-day girl had almost as much fun with her chocolatey cake as her family had watching her attack it! Thanks, Evelyn. Sweets and Treats, Gershon
