Poem: Chocolate cake

CHOCOLATE CAKE


My eyes are filled with tears,

I fell down the stairs.

I chipped my tooth,

I broke my nose,

I sprained both my elbows.

My knees are bruised,

my ankles are 

scrapped...

and all I wanted was

a piece of 

chocolate cake.

Soothe My Soul Books
I recently discovered my love for "soul soothing books". They help you evaluate yourself and give you the encouragement to be the real you. Plus, they help make life a little sweeter.
