Willing Helper

you had to stand at a chair at the counter
white bowl
--------held with left hand
right hand
--------stirring batter
---------------with wooden spoon

mini-apron red polka-dots
sleeves pushed up
straight silky hair
--------shimmering blonde
large green eyes
--------intent on spoon
mouth formed in a proud smile
--------the smile that a three-year-old could have
----------------when I came home and you said
look daddy-----I made cookies today
