Pocket Kisses

From sweet bowed lips 
to soft chubby hands
sticky with chocolate candy
Squeezed in lovingly
until pockets are bulging
kisses reserved for Granny



My first Members Contest Entry....for Short and Sweet.

Sweet children of the candy corn. Who fill our souls with life reborn. The love they send so sweet and true. Makes one forget that they are blue.
