she is three
& sits serious at table
round green eyes solemnly
singing
singeing through you
framed by door
two balloons blue and yellow
tiara says birthday girl
hand grips Styrofoam plate
she’s waiting for her cake
& your heart does a double take
can there be such goodness
she is three
and chin is angled up
in pride smile
aflame
for she has just blown out
three candles on round
cougar cake
white icing placed just so
pale blue kitty shirt
made just for her it seems
and your heart beams
there is such pure joy
