Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

Cookie Cutters, Hot Cocoa and An Angel

COOKIE CUTTERS, HOT COCOA, AND AN ANGEL

When I was small, with curly hair
Mama would pull up a dining chair
She'd stand me there beside her
As she rolled out cookie dough

And gently guide me through the steps
For the cookies she would bake
Letting me use the cookie cutters
Carefully, for goodness sake

We'd sip on a cup of hot cocoa
While making cookies by the dozen
Place them on the cookie sheet
Then into the oven

The Angel atop the Christmas Tree
Standing out in the hall
Seemed to be smiling down at me
A memory I still recall

Yes, cookie cutters, hot cocoa, and Angels
Are still a part of me
Mama's gone, but they live on
Each Christmas that comes to be

I tried to send a response earlier, but it seems to have gone into cyberspace. What it said was that I appreciate your support and encouragement. It is great poets and leaders such as you who instill in me and others the desire to emulate you. Thank you for being such an inspiration to all the poets on Soup.
