Easter eggs

A Poem by Beccy

You would not think such simple things
would please so perfectly the child,
that lit with inner flame desires
to know all there is need to know.

Yet like a jewel in the hair,
the taste in equal amplitude adorns,
as lips and tongue and laughing eye
glow brighter than the blue of sky.
