sweets

sweets in the lolly bag

we gathered after school

made our teeth

so holy

we ended up 

sitting on a dentist stool

sweets for the sweet

my boyfriends used to say

whisper sweet nothings in my ear

and then come and play

sweet perfume of rose so red

as it lay across the coffin there

in this cold bed you meekly lay

and my tears have never really washed away

sweet little dress

in it she could play

as a toddler so carefree

in the sandpit

till the light became dark

end of day

sweet meringue pie

or sweet chocolate pudding

tempt our little taste buds here

and put some cream on there

sweet  carefree life

we are so lucky

these memories of sweet

sweet sweet oh so very sweet

some children never do say or here

cherish that's all so sweet

cos in the blink of eye

we will watch all fade

away

as sweetness often turns to sour

and in those days

we will pray for sweet again

and

we may watch our mothers cry

I love the way you use the word "sweet" to illustrate a wide variety of ideas, all well-described with strong vivid word choices. Many of your sweet scenarios are familiar yet originally stated: "sweets for the sweet" . . . "sweet nothings" . . . "sweet carefree life" . . . & so many more delectable morsels here! *smile* Fondly, Margie
