hey, cupcake.

well, hello, darling.
you look absolutely delicious.
with your white lining and your multi-colored top,
it's just so hard not to eat you all up.
i'm ever-so glad i scored you after swim practice,
you know how everyone else is so greedy when it comes to you.
but i? no i'm different. i'll treat you like a queen.
because that's what you deserve, no?
i'll peel away the paper,
then lick away all your vanilla icing,
and nibble on the red and orange sprinkles.
and then i'll take a bite and float out of my body and hover around on the ceiling.
i like the fact that you're cake in cup form.
i like the fact that you taste yummy.
like Jesus came down to earth and blessed you Himself.
and when i take the last bite,
my tongue is a symphony of different tastes.
mostly sweet, because that's what you are.
and i'm glad that God created you to be a cupcake.

xoxo,
jocee
