Heart pouring

Flour sugar butter flavour
Eggs fruit milk baking powder
Is this a batter or a dough?
Somehow bitter somehow sweet
Cake or pudding, pastry, pie
You my dear are twice as fine.
A while ago you were, so precious,
Babe in arms and swaddling clothes.
Now I see a confident beaut
Ripe with age, taking her own.
For one day each year I, reminisce on
How you've bloomed and each time I
Am thank full as I offer prayers.
May you remain full of fragrance,
Your days being splendid and your nights tasty
May the spark never leave your life and
Like a well prepared dish, may you be sated.
Happy birthday my sweetheart,
Ain't no one sparkle like you.

Dedicated to Adeyemo Peace Adedoyin on her birthday today and her wonderful friend Adebimpe Owojaiye.
