Bakin' Bits

Small little child
Why do you cry
Why are there tears
Coming out of your eyes

You are not happy
Of course I see that
Would it help you feel better
To put on a hat

Then you'll imagine
The things you could be
Pick an adventure
Set yourself free

Pure imagination
Can take you so far
The sky has no limit
And you are the star

Trust in your heart
As well as your mind
The greatest reward
Is the you that you find

Will you be a baker
Building donuts and cake
What kind of confections
Will you come to make

Maybe a struessel
Or something with brie
I'm thinking cheesecake
To go with my tea

Some people have cookies
A pie or a tart
But you are the dreamer
Show me your art

Can you build a bunt cake
Or creme bru lee
Make a bread pudding
Or perhaps a souffle

White chocolate brownies
I admit that sounds good
Use ganache as the glaze
Do that if you would

Cocoa almond meringue
With the purest of ease
I like Almond Joy
Add some coconut please

Ginger with some cranberry
A muffin I guess
Just make sure to have fun
Even making a mess

Buttered pecan
Is a favorite of most
Would it work as biscotti
Could you put it on toast

Now I am thinking
Banana creme pie
Chocolate shavings or curls
Either way will be fine

I like tiramisu
Even strawberry fig
Can you be creative
How deep can you dig

I think just a bagel
Or even a scone
A food to bring comfort
So you feel like you're home

Your mother said pretzel
I wonder what kind
Be it sweet or just butter
And away goes my mind

As for your crying
Let's go with this hunch
That was your tummy
Saying it's time for lunch

Now I know the reason
That you felt blue
A pretzel sounds good
I'll have one too
