Fluffy white clouds of happiness
Edge closer
Balanced upon a foil lined tray
With care
A luminous treasure, fairy shaped
Anticipation mounts
Masterpiece set down with pride
Everybody singing
Breath swells in tiny lungs
Moist exhale
Candles flicker and rekindle
Try again
Extinguished in a puff
Much cheering
Happy Birthday to me!
Awww, you made the moment really come alive with that poem. :)
ReplyDeleteA birthday cake but so much more inside than flour and sugar..the joy of being little perhaps..jae
ReplyDeleteWith me it was always: 'Forget the cake, where's the wrapped box with the ribbon round it?'
ReplyDeletebirthday cake! definitely the best sort of cake :)
ReplyDeleteThe little lungs and puffs...brought back ancient memories. Yes. I'm old.
ReplyDeleteI found it hard to blow them out with just one puff. It didn't matter as my older brother was blowing hard as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy days :)
