This is Mariah today, at 25. The poem is about many yesterdays and will always be a fond memory.
There's nothing more incredible than the laughter of a child
The innocence of dalliance with laughing gooey smiles
Chocolate covered laughter gives such inner peace
Even if the Hershey's was someone else's treat
The cornered grins all brown and sweet the wider eyes that smile
The broken giggles of these two...a momma and her child
Remembered days when curls came down with peanut buttered whirls
Then jelly laughter sprung a leak and kisses caught the curls
The taste and joys of this love a child with innocence
A mothers brightened afternoon when hearts and laughter spent
These hurting ribs from giggles...the constant white of teeth
The tumbles on the cold oak floor with kisses all so sweet
Memories of a mothers love...the laughter rings in techno
I keep these treasures in my heart and every day they echo
Mariah's curls...her wicked smile the one that showed no mercy
The shadows of a thought just caught with her Momma's Hershey's.
Hearing a child's laughter is music to my ears,more like ice cream music because of the tenderness of it all :-).Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem and the picture of Mariah

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
