Delicious berries
ripe on fingers and wet mouths
Don't weigh us on scales
Strawberry short cake
dessert made for whipped cream queens
sunshine in your hands
Red, red mess of jam
success triumphed together
stirred with pride and love
today work away
frozen berry daiquiri
rewards tomorrow
Mmmm! I like that reward! :)
