Ever So Sweet

My sweet baby girl is half-awake, half-asleep. And her toffee yawns are like stretchy caramel. Her cotton candy cheeks are like pink marshmallows. And dark chocolate curls adorn my baby's head. She sports blueberry eyes with soft licorice lips. And her creamy face wears a million-dollar smile. A confectionery treat; she smells delicious. And gives sugared kisses; that taste ever so sweet.
