suprisingly

i think of pancakes, honey syrup,
cotton candy, ice cream and mars bars,
i see bright colors whirling in a rainbow with a golden urn at the end,
chocolate chip cookies, and warm coco at a quiet night,
i think of beaches, azure waters, barefoot in the clean white sand,
i smell green grass, under a tree, under a full moon,
pillow fights,
talking and talking,
and tickle fights,
cheeky jokes,
and silly pranks,
and lots of hookey playing,
cartoons, muffins, cold milk,
and ...
yes,
you bring out the kid in me.
