Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

What She Wants, She Gets

Cute little girl 
      knows how to get 
        exactly what she wants,
          when she wants it.
             She doesn't have to say a thing.
               She doesn't even have to cry!
                  She just tilts
                   Her heart-shaped face 
                    Slightly askew and flutters
                   Her pleading doe-eyes. 
                  It works, every time. 
                Daddy caves.
              She wants candy? Done.
            Ice cream? You betcha!
          Another teddy bear? Of course.

Jenna Logan October 8, 2021 at 6:29 AM The love of a doting father wants his child to be happy. I'll not call it 'spoiling,' but what's the harm? God loves a cheerful giver! Edward Ibeh October 8, 2021 at 7:14 AM True indeed, Jenna:-) Thanks for visiting, my friend.
